Tipping is absurd anyway. I get that it is nice to throw someone a little extra when they go above and beyond, but it is to the point of being pressured to not only tip, but to tip up to %30.
Trump should be pushing for congress to pass a law where companies can no longer pay less than minimum wage and let the market dictate workers wages.

Oh yeah, I'm going to vote for a guy who is pushing for expanded federal powers. That's the ticket.

They already do that but it's just based on possible tips. How does this change anything except where the money comes from? I can't see this as a positive for the good servers

The current system is going to kill the service industry. Restaurants are sticking it to both the servers and patrons.

But why does that necessitate fed involvement? That's nowhere close to letting the market decide that you claimed this would allow

I've watched full service restaurants, usually the mom n pop variety, which go to a no tipping policy. They usually don't last a year. Reddit has a whole community devoted to no tipping and they will post those stories with great fanfare. They aren't as interested in the outcome study though.

Restaurants are just trying to survive in this labor reality with inflated wages and where good help is hard to find. We've had restaurants close simply because they couldn't find workers. Everyhwere I go I feel like the waits are longer and there are fewer people to help you. Don't blame the restaurants, blame the economy and Trump, Biden, and all the SOB's hacking our legs out from under us.

Why is tipping absurd? I would wager that in a servers shift you probably have triple the amount of people that give 15% or less compared to customers that tip up to 30%. I don't see any positive of congress getting involved trying to govern a wage of waiter or waitress. I am in not in the restaurant business but do know plenty of friends that own restaurants. Many of their servers bring home over 40K a year.

This is one issue about today. "Good" today is someone talking nice to you. If you are friendly, 95% of people are going to talk friendly back to you. It doesn't mean they are truly your friend, share your values, or mean well for you.

The tipping culture has gotten nuts now with folks expecting a tip for anything, such a tip jar for a carryout order. At restaurants where they hand you the handheld digital pay thing, it defaults to 18% and you have to refuse it a couple of times if that's what you want to do. Personally I like to leave a cash tip. I start at 15% as a baseline, if the service is really good I'll bump it to 20%

My college age daughter worked at a brewery where you scan the code at the table and order with your phone. That system automatically added a tip unless you were savvy enough to override it. She made $3/hr in salary and $35 additional per hour in tips. Her take home pay was $1000/week working less than 40 hours. Essentially all she was doing was running beers. Pretty good gig for a summer job

A good practice would not be voting for someone who lost to Joe Biden to run for any office. It's like giving up. He hid in a basement and still won. Bc your candidate is viewed as an *******. You can do all the mean tweet crap you want with that. But it's the fact. Shockingly Americans don't want a certifiable ******* to be their POTUS. But keep blaming the electorate for Trump losing. Surely a winning recipe

If you voted 3rd party or didn't vote at all..then technically your vote lost to Biden as well..then in 2016 if you did the same you lost yo Trump...sonis it good practice to vote or not vote when both lost in every election?? Voting for a utopia that won't exist without a compete takeover of the US seems pointless.

The government/employer is partially to blame by setting the hourly rate at $3/hr. It's no wonder the burden of paying the employee has been shifted to the customer, because absolutely no one would take that job unless they were basically assured the customer would pick up the slack....

He said "and?" As if there were a conclusion to follow. It's just funny. The joke is that Trump says the stupidest fkn **** that pops in his head. Like you said, hyperbole.

The customer has always paid the employee in every industry.

Sorry, my "and" was me asking how those pictures refute Trumps statement. Also I'm not so sure his statement is stupid considering many of the policies Walz has pushed as a Rep and Gov.
