FEDERAL LAW says that tipped employees can be paid as little as $2.13 an hour!! It's a huge loophole in American law that needs to be closed. I don't know why in 2023 paying workers $5 an hour is even allowed!!
In US, in every state, every tipped employee is legally guaranteed to make at least the "regular minimum wage" because when they don't receive enough tips and end up earning less than the full regular minimum wage, the employer is legally required to compensate the difference. So that means, every tipped worker in Massachusetts for example, will make at least $15/hr even if they receive $0 tip. Same for every other state.
The Nxt mayoral election needs to focus on this, they need to ban this, cause now people can freely be lazy cause they kno no matter wat, they are getting paid
Delivery driver pay raising to $21 minimum in nyc. Restaurant worker wage is $10 minimum nyc (along with an allowance of $5 tip allowance for $15). Yet the tip sizes keep increasing.
I wouldn’t go to a restaurant if I didn’t have enough for a tip at least 15 or 20% but think take out tipping is ridiculous your just picking up food as you would in a market No service
The whole culture of tipping is utter nonsense. Employers should pay their employees reasonable salaries. Why should I, as a patron, add 20% to the bill? Some cultures abhor tipping. It is actually a kind of begging. Interestingly, it is most widespread and tolerated in that bastion of quasi-capitalism, the USA. My wife and I refuse to add tips to takeout bills or to fork over extra money at Starbucks. As Nancy would say: just say No!
After talking to many international friends/guests, I figured out why this whole crappy tipping culture only happens in America. Americans just don't seem to know how to say no. Tip begging is really not that lucrative in other countries but only in US, there are enough people who can't say no and pay lots of money in tips. Also people who say "not tipping" will make waiters stave are factually wrong because In US, in every state, every tipped employee is legally guaranteed to make at least the "regular minimum wage" because when they don't receive enough tips and end up earning less than the full regular minimum wage, the employer is legally required to compensate the difference.

In Europe, tipping is for extraordinary service only, when customers are delighted waiter gets a tip. Guess what? Restaurant personnel is paid as the other employees.
@heidilam1978 what problem is that?. I worked 25 years on hourly rate, I didn't get tips, sometimes 20 hrs a day. Got taxed, paid medical, paid into pension plan.

I always tip because I rarely eat out and it's a special thing. If you're eating out every week and you're complaining about tipping I got news for you...
If people can afford to eat out that's their business. Employers and employees should be happy someone is patronizing their businesses. The cost of dinning out covers the food and other overhead like the service but the employers don't want to pay better wages. You shouldn't try to bleed out your customers.
The tipping culture has changed. People are sick of being forced to tip for everything and the workers demanding tips. We need to get rid of the corporate greed and make these businesses PAY their workers! Americans need to start a no tip movement! NO MORE TIPPING!!
In America you're not required to tip period. Service industry workers are not entitled to a tip and customers are not obligated to tip as those are the facts about tipping. Tipping is 100% discretionary for the customer.
I and many of my friends have stopped tipping altogether. If service personal asks me why, I tell them to ask their employer because the increased prices include their tip.
You should tell the waitstaff that as soon as you are seated. It's fine to have a bigger political stance, but the waitstaff aren't the ones who put the policy in place and deserve to know.
just pay the workers .. i don't understand why customers have to pay for the waiter/waitress's "salary" while we are the customers there when the owners don't pay fair wages. In that case we should also "co-own" the restaurants right? since we pay the workers to work there anyway lol
Yeah, it's always the brown people!!! Have you ever considered your caliber of service and before you say anything I don't care what your race is. Glad you found another job.
I am a tipper but I find the entitlement attitude is a little crazy when you are practically waiting on yourself aside from cooking the food. Just today I was ordering 3 wigs on line that totaled $227 and as I was checking out they requested a tip of 10, 15 or 20%. Now I tip all the time 18-30% but I was trying to figure out who the f____ am I tipping. Well I cancelled the order and placed an order from Amazon. If employees are not getting a reasonable base salary take that up with your employer. Take a look around there are a lot of restaurants closing. 😮
Tipping is horrible, they should pay employees better. They would get more business, if they stopped asking for tips.
Exactly. Pay a fair wage. Unfortunately in capitalism, this is this result. Capitalism never favors the consumers.
That’s why they included the tips in the bill, it’s ridiculous
they want tips, because they dont want to pay their employees right
paying a waitress $5 an hour is the real crime!!

@@kobyschechter8163 But if they do not make enough in tips, the employer has to pay them the State's minimum wage.

@@kobyschechter8163 wrong, they get the federal or state minimum which is at minimum 7.25. They get 2.13 ONLY from the resturant.
You shouldn't have to tip if your just buying a cup of coffee. It's too much....
That’s cause at sit-down restaurants they add an automatic 18% gratuity. People are tired of getting stiffed out of their money.
The Nxt mayoral election needs to focus on this, they need to ban this, cause now people can freely be lazy cause they kno no matter wat, they are getting paid
Tip is optional not mandatory. Waste of news. People dying out there and here comes this non sense.
Delivery driver pay raising to $21 minimum in nyc. Restaurant worker wage is $10 minimum nyc (along with an allowance of $5 tip allowance for $15). Yet the tip sizes keep increasing.
Screw tipping. I hate people who EXPECT a tip. Worse yet, the ones who try demanding tips.
I wouldn’t go to a restaurant if I didn’t have enough for a tip at least 15 or 20% but think take out tipping is ridiculous your just picking up food as you would in a market No service
Nice scam. The owner gets labor almost free of cost.

I find that not many people realize that TIP is an acronym…
In Europe, tipping is for extraordinary service only, when customers are delighted waiter gets a tip.

East Buffet on main street, flushing pays a living wage to all their workers and dim sum on weekdays are one flat price with no tips. I truly love it.
Let’s bring it down to something like 3% of sitting customers, like the rest of the civilized world
People don’t have money 💰 every thing is expensive
Then move to Calcutta,
Well they shouldn’t hav voted for Brandon
Elections hav consequences
@@slapshot68 still better than don the con,
Just say it. Black people don't tip.
😂😂😂
That's the biggest lie ever told. 😮
I tip minimum 20%, if service is excellent 30 to 40%. Sit down only. If I'm picking up food that's your job, you get no tip
You're part of the problem.

Or, maybe the service sucked.
I thought tipping is illegal
keep pressing "Skip" button until the goverment abolishes Tipping culture

I’m in that 63% for sit down restaurants only.

Too expensive to eat out now rather spend my money somewhere else
Or get the food to go,
Bill plus tip, something that’s 13$ is really 14$

When people get offended if they are asked to tip are norm the ones that dont ever tip
That why I pay cash!! On take out or sit down and of course I’ll tip at sit down with great service, but on pick up others I don’t tip
I used to work at a restaurant unfortunately the worst tippers are Indian and African-American 😢
