Gotta love corpo news.

have made some people stingier

They’re no longer appreciating service industry workers

Shut the fuck up and pay them a living wage you animals. Don’t try and continue pitting individuals against each other. “Blame the consumer for everything” is so played out at this point.

The reality is that these jobs rely on tips. If they were to “pay them a living wage” then the cost of the service would just go up.

Don’t get me wrong, I want tipping to go away, and it’s gotten absurd where people are asking for tips now. But it’s absolutely stingy to not tip in these places where traditionally they would be tipped. If you don’t want to tip, don’t buy their services. It should be a recognized part of the cost: you just think it should be made official, some think it should be based on the quality of service they received.

The cost would not increase. That is not how supply and demand works.

It is extremely unlikely this has not been explained to you before.

One of the reasons that the no tipping movement during the mid 2010s failed is because they had to raise prices to give the staff the same pay they would have received with tipping included. And shoppers found that to be a turn off.

Your response is to cite an article proving my point and not understand that?

My article certainly does not prove your point. It shows that when companies replaced tipping with high wages, they had to raise the cost of their goods/services. Which is exactly what I said.
