Only seven states currently bar “subminimum” pay for tipped workers like bartenders and restaurant servers, but activists see 2024 as ripe to expand the tally to as many as 20.
This is actually a great reason for ending tipping. I used to feel like I was on the server’s side, slipping them cash the business couldn’t steal, but I never use cash anymore so have no idea who it’s going to. Also, businesses are getting more sleazy with required “tips” and fees, and it’s all one giant tax fraud no matter which way you put it.
Actual prices on the menu are better for the customer, actual pay is better for the server, accounting for everything is better for the business and accurate reporting is better for all of us who depend on services paid for by taxes
Are you a true American if you don’t shaft your employees for every penny that you can though?
No, but a true Capitalist, yes.
(Sad of me to write that, as there used to be a time where companies made good products and accepted reasonable profit margins, going for the win-win scenarios. Today’s Capitalism seems all about the win-lose scenarios.)

I totally agree with you and my comment was sarcasm.
The price should be upfront and the only thing you have to pay.
Might want to add a “/s” to your comment next time, just to same everyone a little bit of time.
How about no, Scott.
Its the violence inherited in the system.
No, but a true Capitalist, yes.

Bro just said he was German
Sarcasm
Germans are professionals at telling other people what they’re doing wrong
Exactly. Here in my country we just have amateurs doing it (badly), we need more Germans.

No, it’s the rest of the world that’s wrong
Making common Simpson meme references is what I expected for discourse in this sub.
Defensive much? He just expressed his opinion in a public comment forum.

–> Call others high brow
–> refers to somebody from Europe as Eurotrash

That attitude is why they won’t come this direction and liberate us in 2027 or whenever it goes down
