ChatGPT Weighs In On Out-Of-Control Tipping

After a particularly frustrating dinner, Steph Smith found herself considering the merits of American tipping culture. But she wanted to hear the other side of the debate, so asked ChatGPT to show her counter-arguments in favor of the way non-tipping countries pay service workers.
Steph discussed her findings with host Dan Shipper, and the two talked about the value of ChatGPT and other AI chatbots as sparring partners in a debate.

The title sadly doesn't reflect the video. I mean discussing and reflecting on what chatgpt spits out is fine but at least let us hear what chat gpt actually brought up.

[@brotendo]

Yeah, exactly. Misleading video title.

Why do servers in McDonalds not be deemed worthy of tipping, but in other restaurants it's seen as mandatory?

[@ihatehandles3]

it should be the other way around, you tip the fast food workers by rounding up the price to facilitate the payment and you pay for the service in "nice" restaurants because the should be paying their staff fairly with the prices they ask...

Only countries WITH tipping would debate this, pretty sure that says all you need to know.

This is a baffling aspect of American culture. In the past, the excuse I would hear the most from Americans is that if restaurants paid their wait staff a living wage, then the restaurant would go under. Utter nonsense. How does the rest of the world do it then? Meals in America are too cheap, relatively speaking. Raise the menu prices a little, pay your employees a living wage and customers should only tip when you get particularly good service. If it has to be mandatory, it's not tipping, it's a subsidy.
