So what about non tipping jobs? People who work hard but don’t have a machine with a tip prompt? The person checking you out at wal-mart, the guy selling you shoes at sport chek, the ramp workers at the airport…the list goes on. Why does someone handing you a coffee or beer deserves the extra that lots of other jobs don’t get? How about they all do the job for the pay offered, and not rely on a selective system where some of them get extra arbitrarily. Do you feel like it makes you a better person giving a few people extra, but not others that a societal ritual has deemed aren’t worthy?
How do restaurant workers in Europe and Japan and many other places survive?
