I’ve been saying this - If we all collectively stopped tipping, it would force restaurants to pay their servers more because there would be a severe shortage of servers that would close these restaurants! I haven’t tipped anywhere in about 2 years!
If a business can’t afford to pay its employees a reasonable wage, it shouldn’t survive 🤷🏻‍♂️

So should we tip healthcare workers too for lower insurance premiums? When people are uninsured, the insured pay for it too. Insurance companies factor in the cost of uncompensated care into premiums for those paying for insurance. So a portion of our premiums pays for the costs of the uninsured.

No because healthcare workers get paid livable wages

This is why you tip, it’s literally just being nice and respectful of the person spending their time serving you

You’ve never worked in healthcare if you believe this. Healthcare is more than doctors and nurses (who are still underpaid for their responsibilities)

Yes but thats how that system is suppose to function, we aren’t talking about a vital service we all pay into and theoretically we all may all need we’re talking about Olive Garden. My criticism of you is different depending on what your take is. Why do you think the current tipping system is bad?

The current tipping system is bad because it shifts the burden away from the employer and onto its customers. It also leads to a sense of entitlement found among service workers

Obviously bc how the current system is supposed to work if they give good service they’re entitled to a tip, not legally but I would argue socially. I’m even fine with people saying I don’t want to tip bc I’m incentivize to not tip, but then I think employees shouldn’t serve you or should give you bare minimum service bc that’s what they’re incentivized to do in that case.
