I wonder if they can get in trouble legally if they’re not disclosing that 18% fee up front?

Tipping culture in the US is absolutely retarded. The whole thing of staff relying on and expecting tips to supplement their income is also retarded. The job should pay, what its worth, period. If its not enough, I don't care, don't apply for it. If they can't attract staff and go out of business, I don't care. Its outrageous both put it on the customer.

>tips are pooled
LOL

>>507283844 (OP)
Or maybe pay your staff a livable wage, you greedy fuck. I would take the 18% off and tell them where to stick it.

>>507284937
Living wage fees are what a world without tips looks like.

>>507283844 (OP)
what is that tax? 5%?
wtf
we get 21% + state tax + product tax

Living wage fee is a forced tip. The reason is tips are not taxed. That is why tipping culture is big in America. It allows businesses to operate below a tax threshold while continuing to offer low prices.

A living wage fee sorta breaks this social contract. It ups the price of the food as of course not everyone can tip.

>percent tax
>added on at the end of the check in blatant bait and switch
>not built into the price
>then suggesting a tip on top
>See, goy? Nobody wants to spend living wage money! We have to have tips and pay employees $2/hr!

All I want is an agreed upon price of food & services whereby if paid- servers will the shut the fuck up and forfeit the right to demand more.
That's it. Make it 18%, bake it into the price, idagf. Stop making me play a game of "Guess the minimum amount of gratuity to not piss this person off"

>The jewish bosses should just pay their staff a normal wage
How about that?

>>507285330
i sort of like them because at least certain minorities can't skate by and not tip and i have to subsidize them. and i dont feel i have to tip 25% or something

>>507285721
>The reason is tips are not taxed.
yes they are you dumbass, no tax on tips is floated along no tax on overtime. They just would rather be tipped in cash and then don't report it.

fuck I hate this shit, the whole food service industry here is fucked, after travelling I realized how much better it is elsewhere in the world. In Japan you just pay what's listed on the menu. If you need the server you just call them over. When you pay you just get up when you're done and pay at the front. And most of the time you can just order through a QR code. Having to wait on the server to come to you is bullshit.

If the service or food sucks I'm just not going back there, I'm not paying an extra 5% because you interrupted my meal constantly

>>507286453
I tip the wagies because I've done food service before and it really sucks. People are never more picky with anything than their food. And the pay sucks. The environment sucks. The bosses suck. The customers sometimes suck. If I can throw the poor wagie 5$ to brighten their day I'll do it, even with takeout.

Had I never worked food service I probably wouldn't tip them either.

>>507285191
They’ve been doing this for a long time in America. 15 years ago I was a bus boy and at the end of each night each of us would get “tipped out” a portion of the nights tips.

>>507285725
This, and it's so obvious but people are going to fall for it.

>living wage fee
Mother fucker what do you think the cost of my meal is already supposed to cover.
I remember I ate at a Korean BBQ place once and on check out they refused to take debit and also refused to close the transaction if I cancelled the tip they added themselves without my consent and without telling me.
I paid what I owed for the meal and not the tip and they got super mad.

I'll tip sometimes but honestly fuck you if you demand one.

Tipping isn't enough of an industry scam.
Restaurant industry doubles down on tricking customers into paying the restaurant employees.

just don't blame the wait staff for this bullshit.
blame the restaurant owners - and the government that allows this.

that's illegal btw

the fuck lil timmy gona do? learn to cook? lol

>>507284296
Mandatory Gratuities aren’t illegal, just a scummy practice so you can list the dinner as $17 instead of $21 on the menu and have this little sign somewhere

>>507284296
Places that do it usually have it on the menu and receipt as a "gratuity charge." Op's pic is probably bullshit and a server messing with the machine for insta clicks.

>>507286895
Take this back, it's undercooked.
Servant.

>>507289477
If you had ever worked food service you might have some empathy. I think it should be mandatory for everyone who gets food from a restaurant or store. You have to have worked at least a year at some food joint then you get your slop loicense.

I don't work food service anymore, so your comment doesn't personally involve me.

>>507285721
>social contract

Nigga please

>>507288867
why do you people use timmy gona do when the dude that made the meme got killed by the timmy he mocked?

>>507289084
Just fucking charge the full price and share a cut with the staff you know by paying them out of the sales of goods and services you business provides.
Fuck US tipping culture.

>paying tax on a tip

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST KILL ALL LEFTIST EVERY FUCKING ONE

So some little cunt gets to have non taxed tips, but I gotta pay taxes on THEIR tips?
jesus christ end it all, reset the program, i'm done playing.
never eating out again.

>>507286895
I worked in kitchens for years and I'll never tip.
Because not once did any of those hungover, useless fucks that work front of house ever pass a tip onto me.
Waitstaff are replaceable dregs, the people who actually deserve tips are the cunts coming in at 5am to prep and open shop, not the half awake roastie leaning on the counter chatting for ten minutes before deigning to run plates from the pass.

I don't get it. People tell me "if we paid servers more, then the prices would go up". But if I am already working over 20% of the original bill as tips then what difference does it make? Was I not supposed to think that far?

>>507289477
*spritz spritz* oops, well I guess your food is gonna have some de-greaser on it and I'm not cleaning the grill specifically for you. Oh and I'm replacing the nozzles on the soda fountain for the ones the dishwasher left in murky flatware soaking container. Anything else M'Lord?

>>507291267
Must be a cultural thing then. At all the food joints I worked the tips are pooled then split at the end of the night.

>>507290611
Huhhhh??? Huhhhhhhhh??????? But I thought if we paid staff more, then the cost of literally everything would go up? You don't NEED to eat out, so either cook your own food, or accept it.

>>507283844 (OP)
the reuben and fries better cover the whole plate and stacked up 8 inches

>>507287222
Handle my luggage and I'll give you 10$
Carry my load for the whole ride and you'll get 50$

>>507284296
How so? Everywhere you go in America, the price you're quoted is never the price you're charged. It's systemic dishonesty...and yet they'll tell you that Third World countries have dishonest pricing. Fucking kek.

>living wage fee before tax
Ultimate kikery

>>507291604
I've worked at places where that was ostensibly the policy.
Every time the waitstaff just pocketed most of it, because they're the ones who actually handle the money, and because anyone who actually works front of house is either a teenager who gives no fucks, or an adult who has badly failed at life and 6/10 times has a crippling addiction of some sort.
