Well said.People should be paid enough to get by by the employer. It's not like the tips are set in stone like PRP in other positions. You can do your job absolutely brilliantly and get absolutely nothing. Any tips etc. should just be a bonus on top of a living wage for them doing their job well.
Might seem pretty harsh, but if no one paid tips, employers would be forced to pay a living wage.Well said.
I think the arguments like "It’s simple work, should be low pay" miss the bigger picture that we all are human beings deserving of dignity, and the only effectual way for an employer to demonstrate this dignity is with decent guaranteed pay.
Could very well be true. In theory.Might seem pretty harsh, but if no one paid tips, employers would be forced to pay a living wage.
I get the argument. I've often wondered if everyone that did any kind of unpaid or voluntary work stopped just for a day the country would be in utter chaos. I can understand why people don't do that though - a lot of vulnerable people would suffer and some would almost certainly die.Might seem pretty harsh, but if no one paid tips, employers would be forced to pay a living wage.
I presume over here everyone is covered by the minimum wage, with tips extra income?Could very well be true. In theory.
But then you're ending up with an undetermined amount of time with those workers getting next to nothing pay, or unemployment as an option to get by, but certainly not an overnight solution. With emphasis, it also b3gs the question of where is the dignity during that uncertainty?
Good conversation so far.
That happened to me and a mate in New York once. We went drinking for a few hours one afternoon.I tipped a barman something like $5 once because for a beer at the bar because I was in a good mood and he ended up giving me a free beer and a shot. I’ve heard that sort of thing is pretty common.
That makes no sense to me.Now both presidential candidates are seemingly pledging removing taxes on tips entirely.
That changes the conversation somewhat as well.

I see the Federal Minimum has been mentioned. Just to keep things complicated States and Cities have their own minimums and the Federal has not been changed for years.
My State is nearer $15 and some are a lot higher, being realistic getting someone to work for $15 would be a push.

When we became Sovereign state?🫣I was in London this week and most of the places had tipping prompts when paying, ranging from 15-30%, including one where I had to go to the bar to order drinks and food.
In all of the others service charges ranging from 12.5-30% had been added, again one was going to the bar to order.
When did this become a thing?
