Gobmint wants to make sure they get their cut.
I’d love to see how they react when that 100 meal becomes 150 because you didn’t want to tip 20%! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Like the restaurant owners are going to eat the cost on that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Restaurant help will be paying taxes now, they won’t like that. Taxes on ALL their earnings, just like everyone else except illegals and welfare recipients.
Virtually everyone tips an average of 15%. Raise the prices 15% and do away with tipping. Then everyone pays the same and the deadbeats that don't tip will have to pay their share and those who usually tip above the 15% will save a little.
The restaurants won't close because this doesn't change anything for the average customer. He's still paying the same amount: the equivalent of the current tab plus 15%.
The server still gets the average 15% over the minmum the restaurant pays now and doesn't have to hope enough people tip above 15% to offset the less than 15% tippers.
Nothing changes for the restaurant except changing the prices the additional 15%.
Taxman is happy because he collects on everyone the same way.
This isn’t rocket science.
The real resistance is from the servers that want to pocket their tips and not have to declare it all for taxes and the restaurant owners who want to screw servers out of part of their tips.
Restaurants are making a fortune on the food anyway, food is high profit margin, and if they’re going to up the prices to their customers, then customers don’t need to go there. They need to pay their employees themselves. The speaker here even indicates the cash tips are not reported as income. These people are getting income tax free while we have to report every penny, we earn. They won’t get a dime for me, and they never have, I do not tip.
1. Agenda #1 for Democrats is destroying independent middle-class businesses!
2. Degrading EVERYONE down into the government-dependent lower-class!
3. Government-dependent lower-classes tend to vote Democrat in decisive majorities.
4. The solution is simple!
5. STOP VOTING DEMOCRAT! 🚫
Any place that has the spin around tablet, I pay with cash. That way I don't have to tip 20%
Restaurants need to pay their employees the same way every other kind of business does. Then tipping should be gratitude for the employee doing their job well.
Screw restaurants!!! Overpriced Trash
Americans always were generous tippers because we had great wealth. But now that everything including meals has become so expensive under Biden, I think that diners are less likely to tip well. At least that's the way it is with me.
Higher tips are now expected. Tipping use to be for good service and voluntary. Not all, but I bet many restaurant owners are living better than most of us. Just because it worked in the past it should not be considered terrible unless a tip is given. It is true that a small amount of tips are on a tax return. More people are eating at home now due to added costs. We are. Mary
People are sick of tipping for poor service, less product, and increased prices!!!!!!!!! STOP dining in and you wont have to support this BS!!!!!!!
Ban tips. Let the restaurant owners pay their workers. Why do we have to pay them?
No it means the greedy get less! And the workers not treated fairly! What it would come to on the Hugh tipping amounts weather bad service bad food ext your forced to tip what it will lead to is people not eating out. ! Closing businesses what it rounds out to is the company would be paying only $2 an hour and the rest on forced tipping it’s quite the scam they have going on.
Yep pay the people working for you from the big ceopay and bonuses. The government would be abel to double tax the money. See the problem with a terranical government?
Tipping sucks and should stop completely, it’s almost embarrassing at this point. Every where you turn it’s tip tip tip, no one tips me at my job. Food is already overpriced now another 20% on top of that. Crazy culture
Back then tipping 6%. Now 20-25%… 😮 people will eating less to no more. Tipping jobs are to get by not to make a living on.
Truth hurts but it’s still the truth.
Many countries have no tipping at all or very small tips, yet their restaurants seem to get along just fine. Only the US food industry wants the consumer to pay for their staff, many places now have moved tipping up to 25% for what? Bad food and Bad service and that includes take out. Eliminate tipping in the US and let the restaurants pay their staff an hourly rate and let the IRS collect the taxes they don't get today from hidden income.
Tipping should be gone completely.
Tipping is not culture, It's a scam.
Tipping for Take-Out is one of my biggest pet peeves.
You get rid of tipping as a major component of a “Service Person’s” income you can expect to receive mediocre or worse “Service” in the future.
I don’t “tip” non service personnel usually.
I don’t “tip” well for mediocre service … sometimes not at all for bad service …
Places that “add” the “tip” to the receipt I pay cash I pay the subtotal before the “tip” and leave what I consider appropriate on the table.
Places that add “service charges”, “tips” and other odd charges, I simply stop going to.
Employees should work for tips and food stamps, that way corporations pay nothing
It's time for tips to go. Their time has passed.
If you Add a tip to my check, you will not get a tip, from me. I deduct any added tip, you can too.
