    Car sales people are paid on commission. If servers were paid on commission then your argument would make sense.

      Tipping then should be a fix amount. Is not like if i pay 15$ for a pasta or 50$ for a stake there is a differenze in service.

      Once it’s a fix amount, they could… Drumrolls… Include it in the menu prices!

      Anyway i know is not your fault and it’s the american system that is cheating but you can vote with your wallet

        Tipping shouldn’t exist because people should be paid a living wage.

      So his argument makes sense.

  Because that’s just how much it costs to go out to eat now. No one can afford it. Where have you been?

    Again, if it’s too expensive to afford, why are you doing it?

        It’s not, but eating at a restaurant is.

      Humans aren’t perfectly rational consumers, capable of always depriving themselves of joy in the name of fiscal responsibility.

      I imagine the crux of your argument rests on the idea that eating out for $70 or $90 are two identical things, when in fact they are not. If you do it 10 times a year, it’s a $200 difference.

      The reason that difference exists is to satisfy the desire the owning class has to not pay workers enough to survive. If they did, the capitalists would have less money, you would have more money, and the waiter would have the same amount of money.

      That’s better. Not perfectly ideal, but better than now.

        I don’t expect people to be rational, I know they aren’t. The point is that it’s better to not eat out than to screw over a person who may not be able to afford to eat in the restaurant you’re eating in. You are asking someone to work for you for starvation wages and then complaining that they’re upset that you’re not filling in the rest of the wages.

        Yeah, the owning class is to blame, so stop giving them money.
