Am I the only one who’s pro-tipping? I feel the need to apologize for making people do work. If you told me I wasn’t allowed to tip I’d be leaving cash on the counter and running off.

In the region of the world I’m from, waiter unions themselves are against tipping. The reasons I have heard are that

  • wage negotiations should not happen between customers and employees
  • the principle of everyone’s salary being enough to cover all costs of living
  • neither customer nor employee will benefit from service staff having too low wages
  • worker’s rights cannot practically be built using funds from tipping
  • normalising tipping will be used by the employer as an argument to pay below liveable wages

    • That being said, waiters are given a liveable wage here. And locals also sometimes tip for great service. But that’s just a bonus for the waiter, not the expectation.

    I would personally suggest you reevaluate your pro-tipping stance given the above, but I don’t know where in the world you’re from, nor how waiters are treated or paid there
