Wow... I really don't think tipping should be mandatory. Yes, it does protect the waiter/waitress from those under-tipping cheap bastards, but it does not encourage the waiter/waitress to provide good service to the customers since they are going to get tips anyways. Just my $0.02

The reason is that in a lot of states the minimum wage can be calculated *including tip*; ie: they Can pay servers as little as $2.50, but the minimum wage is around $7 or so.
Fucked up, huh? Posted via RS Mobile | |

Mandatory tip = shipping and handling fee (kitchen -> table)

its a service their providing, they're getting paid minimum for w/e the fuck their job is. tip is extra if i like them... ppl these days take tips for granted....i worked in the restaurant industry before too, and if ppl dont tip me i know why. so for those who suck at their job and complain about the tips, do something about it like provide the good service

If only that argument works with Canada Post, UPS, or whatever too.

Nobody will want to be a waiter/waitress/bartender/etc for $8 hr. Anyone that is willing to do that work for that little will be ugly and will most likely do a shitty job cuz they dont really want to be there.

Under federal law it is considered bribery to tip federal government employees. However, they are permitted to receive unsolicited non-monetary gifts less than or equal to $20.00.[1]"

The real cost of the item is simply hidden by relabelling "labour costs" as "gratuity". Quote: |

Some types of labor are also exempt, and tipped labor must be paid a minimum of $2.13 per hour, as long as the hourly wage plus tipped income result in a minimum of $7.25 per hour. | | |
