Need this nationwide. I hate having fees added on to the price of what I’m ordering.

    A lot (not all) of workers in the service industry like tipping, actually. They get cash a lot of the time, which they like, and can under report on their taxes. Most people opposed to banning tipping, in my experience, are actually the people receiving the tips.

      And yet many of those people are also the first to complain about having inconsistent paychecks. Funny how that works

        Something tells me these same workers wouldn’t like tipping so much if people didn’t feel obligated to tip under threat of food tampering (real or imagined) or other threat/shame tactics.

        I mean, I don’t think they’re necessarily the same people, that’s why I said not all.

      I do wonder how much that’s changed over time. As more of us use only electronic payments or credit cards, that has to reduce the opportunity for tax fraud (same with panhandlers - I literally don’t carry any cash I could give you, so now what?)
