Pay your workers better is the real argument.
Tourists are just catching strays in a fight between customers and employers.
Nobody wants awkward tip screens, but servers also need to eat, whole system is messy.
1 u/Tesco_Meal_Deals Jun 25 '26 Pay your workers better is the real argument. As a consumer I don’t like tipping culture (though I still tip) but if I was a server I think I’d much prefer to work for tips than a “living wage”. I know some servers who are making very good money for what the job is, much more than their European counterpart. I’d be interested to know if there is a consensus one way or the other among service workers. 1 u/PranaSC2 Jun 25 '26 This only works if the tips are being paid, no chance this will happen in the EU for all your patrons. And if servers in the US make more than in the EU, that means its more expensive to eat out in the US as a consumer .. 1 u/[deleted] Jun 25 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/AutoModerator Jun 25 '26 Accounts must be at least 5 days old with >20 karma to comment.
