No you don’t. If servers are making $15/hour or whatever I am not tipping 20%[/quote]

So a PT employee makes $15/hour and you're not tipping?  You're a cheapskate who shouldn't eat out!  $15 per hour equals $30k per year, IF an worked FT, and I imagine most wait staff don't.  Besides, everyone on DCUM earns between $100k and $750k, so not tipping a $30k per year employee is a completely move[/quote]

That’s not the customer’s problem.

Let me break the news to you, since you are completely unaware of how the United States works.  We have at will employment here.  If you don’t like $15/h then get a new job.  It’s it up to the customer to pay a business’ staff.

Please tell us why Japan, Korea, Australia, every country in Europe and Asia can figure it out with no tips but the US can’t.

No tips once minimum wage, sorry.  Don’t like it then get new job with an employer who pays better.  The market will correct for wages itself.  Business that don’t pay will die because they have no employees.  Those that pay appropriately will live. It’s that simple.  Not the customer’s job to be your cash cow. [/quote]

What you don't understand is that the customer pays whether it's a tip or increased price of food. So, what's the difference?[/quote]
