    If you can’t afford living wages for your staff so they’re not dependant on tips, your store shouldn’t be open.

      Everyone working a job should be making a living wage. “Oh, but then the price of my McDonald’s cheeseburger will skyrocket!!” Fucking good. If it’s not economical to produce a product without abusing people, that product shouldn’t exist. Period. I will die on this hill.

        I don’t know why people keep repeating this propaganda. Plenty of countries pay actual wages to their employees, don’t have tipping, and the prices are still fucking cheaper than America.

          regardless, it doesn’t matter if people are already forced to tip. it just means you’re already paying more but it’s just not included in the sticker price

          Apologies, I’m not trying to say that that argument is true or has any basis in reality, more so that the argument is completely irrelevant
