    By your argument, every job should get a tip then, why pay the salaries?

    US corporation should start paying their employees living wages instead of them asking their employees to beg for tips to get living standards wage.

      You hit it right on with the second paragraph. I wouldn’t hold my breath though. It’s just one of many lobbying efforts to keep that going in the US.

        If the person working there doesn’t demand a living wages with all his co worker then should the customer ask it for them instead?

        and have solidarity with my fellow working-class citizens. If I can’t afford to tip somewhere, I can’t afford to be a patron there, and THAT directly impacts the company instead of the workers.

        Guess I’ll starve 🤷

        I get what you’re trying to say. But it is unfair to expect everyone to give a tip. Everything is incredibly expensive already. Expecting people to give a tip on top of it is just not going to happen.

        If you go there daily and can easily afford it, then go ahead. But expecting everyone to tip severely limits peoples ability to get anything outside a supermarket.
