    If everyone stopped tipping, the wait staff would demand more money, or leave. The owner would have to pay more to employees.

    So yeah, not tipping is fucking over the waiter, unless everyone stopped tipping. Then that would fuck over the owner.

      And then you would pay more for your meal, bringing it up to the same price as you paid before with the tip. Except probably the servers would make less money. People seem to overlook the fact that servers actually tend to make pretty good money in comparison to jobs with similar qualifications (although there’s a bunch of caveats on that).

        And then there would be fewer patrons because the higher price is not optional. Staff would be cut, and eventually the restaurant would downsize or close. Servers that make good money are the exception, and that is due to tips.

        If tips weren’t an issue. The meme would be irrelevant and we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

        Let’s no go halfway; have customers pay the full salaries of all employees, including benefits. See how ridiculous that sounds.
