People are finally fed up enough with tipping culture that it's in the news.
Well I'll tell ya what, I've been fed up with it for years. Fight me!

It was always a way for service companies to exploit their workers and pass the burden of a fair wage on to the consumer’s kind graces. It needs to be on the companies to not exploit their workers and if prices go up… so be it. At least everything is transparent at that point and workers are not exploited.

@DarkHeaven yeah but bet their business goes way down and then they go out of business. People need to learn to make their own food the way we did in the 60’s and before fast food restaurants got so plentiful.
@cherokeepatti business’s should go out of business if their business model is not sustainable without requiring the public (tips) to provide welfare to them.
Business’s go under sometimes, that’s how a health economy works.
We may end up with less out to eat places, but that’s okay too. We probably eat out too much supported by public welfare.

@DarkHeaven Mom & Pop restaurants like soup stands or food trucks might not even need them. Low overhead saving on rent for those little stands and probably not as expensive for the food trucks either if they can get enough customers in.
@cherokeepatti Oh I agree. It would put it directly back in local business. It would only take out the big chain exploiters like Denny’s out. This would be a truly healthy economy that is good for small businesses, workers, and the consumer and all locally sourced. Don’t let those that pretend to be conservative and actually out to provide corporate welfare to big business tell you otherwise. They just want to continue the cancer on all of America.

@DarkHeaven The food tasted better at those little stands back in the 60’s and 70’s too. They couldn’t afford to alienate customers with bad tasting food and word of mouth get out and they’d go out of business. The big corporate fast food places took over and undercut their price and put them all out of business. You see some food trucks now but not many.
@cherokeepatti because they got run out by big business. it will come back if the economic climate is right. you made me smile thinking back on our own here. ty for that. light and love. 🖤

@DarkHeaven agree with that. The option to tip should be there, but no one should be pressured to leave a certain amount.

@DarkHeaven There was a really good fried chicken stand that sold chicken baskets and had a bench in front for walk-up customers to wait and it was all carry-out. They didn’t need to hire a waitress or have furniture or pay large utility bills. That’s how they made money without tips. Good hamburger and barbecue stands here too. I don’t know what else, we didn’t eat outside the home or school cafeteria that much.
