    Restaurants aren’t a right. It’s a luxury. And when you take advantage of the luxury, you’re making a restaurant owner very rich. They pay their staff less than $3/hr and they’re expected to pay out to the business for every table they serve. Don’t want to pay for a luxury? Stay home.

      No they pay their staff whatever minimum wage is… and if that staff gets tips can have some of that credited back to them. When you say it the way you do, you make it out that workers are leaving their job every night making less than minimum wage… which is factually not true.

      If you look at this thread, the majority appears to want to tell you that tipping shouldn’t exist. So if we all stayed home… who would pay those workers? Your demand is not only unreasonable, but makes sure that people would be out of a job.
