POS systems including tip requests really piss me off. We recently discovered a great local restaurant and we order food from them (and pick it up, to take home) a few times a month. They have one of those POS systems and it really irritates me to have to tap 'No Tip' in plain view of the cashier every time. We're picking up food; I'm walking up to a counter, collecting a bag, swiping a credit card and leaving. Why the fuck would I tip for that? I don't tip at the grocery store and cashiers there do the same amount of work.
Because many restaurants split tips with the back end, and, well, somebody made the food.
By the logic, i should pay tip for every item i buy, it is produced by somebody in a factory somewhere.
Or you should stop visiting restaurants that ask for tips entirely.
It's not like the waiter is doing the majority of the work for your meal when you sit down.
Ah yes the solution to tips is boycotting my favorite restaurants, that will show them that I don't want to tip!
"You have my favorite food and great service, but I would rather you just raise your prices and pay your staff more."
Yep that's what they would see from my boycott
The waitresses and waiters and everyone can't survive without tips, so let's just give them no business and no tips!
It's the idea of the Applebee's 10 dollar meal that's actually 12 dollars. What business wouldn't want to give their employees top dollar and have to advertise higher prices? It's a win-win for the business. They aren't going to change until forced or highly encouraged.
Getting rid of "Tip wages" would be the solution
No one should be required to rely on tips as income
It should be known no one is required to rely on tips as income
Then we can all stop with the tips
I've only ever found one restaurant that does not take tips.
