#2But the cost of carrying deadweight by shaming is not going to work forever. I have been shaming myself and clicking lowest % shown in the screen but this past weekend I finally said no and clicked on 0%. Was not a restaurant just to pick up something pre ordered forget where.

#3The only reason I continue to tip is the knowledge that my food will be spat in / worse if I don't.
I would happily pay higher food prices to avoid tipping culture.
Tipping culture simply doesn't exist in most of the world, and Americans who can't imagine a world without it here have no vision.

#5As a bartender, I know that I will make more money from tips than any business owner would ever pay me, even if prices were raised 20+% and tipping was removed. I’d rather risk a slow shift with less tips than work a job with a slightly higher hourly rate and no tips. I know there is a lot of bitching online about tips, and I agree that since COVID I’ve seen some absurd situations with asking for tips when the customer is essentially doing everything themselves, but most people tip fine.

#6> If a coffeeshop wants to pay their employees more they will have to raise prices
This does not follow purely from the facts presented. Consider: "If a coffee shop wanted to pay their employees more, the coffee shop itself might take a smaller cut and keep prices the same."

#7How much of the “tip” actually gets to the employees?
Re: Why Is Tipping Everywhere You Checkout?
#8Cash tips seem like the way to go primarily because you're not relying on the employer to calculate and distribute them to line employees and because they're not being reported as income and taxed.
That might not be the "law", but that's pretty much de-facto what happens everywhere.

I think it's a US thing. I came from Bolivia and never once tipped anywhere outside of restaurants. No, I won't tip you for packaging 4 cookies in a box at Crumbl Cookies lol.

#10I think it's good if it normalizes not tipping. Unless you make under minimum wage I don't want to feel compelled to tip you unless you've actually done something noteworthy
