This idea that tipping is bad is why so many restaurants are collapsing. People pushing a higher minimum wage, when it was never about making a living off what the restaurant paid. I don't care if the minimum wage is $20/hour. If waitresses can't earn good tips, the job sucks. But we had a different culture back in the '70s. Leaving a big tip was a status thing, and you see the table next to you leave $5 or $10 after they settle, it encouraged you to do the same. If you could work 8 or 10 tables in an hour, and you were getting $5 or more per table, you were making $40 or $50 per hour, just in tips. The salary was better than nothing. It might pay the rent all by itself, but you weren't going to afford anything else. With more and more people stiffing the wait staff, those jobs are much less attractive. People wonder why gen Zers are the way they are and I think of a kid making $10 or $15 an hour who doesn't get to keep their tips. No wonder they're slow.
