      The whole thing is that waitress/waiters are paid so little. If these businesses would stop underpaying the workers could make ends meet and then get rid of the tip. Literally having people tip to cover the rest of the paycheck. Gaurantee prices would go up on food, plus I know some people get tipped amazingly and make so much money on tips it's crazy, but that's at fancier places. But yeah some restaurants still trying to pay people 7.25-8.25 an hour at least around where I live.
      40 hours at 8.25 $330 but you gotta pay taxes so your weekly paycheck hits just just $300. Average month that's $1200, yearly thats $14.400. Yeah. Defiant ain't getting a house on that anytime soon especially after covering all your yearly expenses.

      For most residents of suburbia, there is no "walk out into the woods." If I wanted to walk on a nature trail, I'd have to drive out 15-20 mins out before I can start hiking. Also, the nearest grocery store is not only more than just a mile or 2, I'd also have to walk alongside a road with 50mph+ cars. It'd be safer and faster just to take the bus, let alone drive there.

    No walking roads is because most of the western expansion in the US was done on horses and all about having large amounts of land. Thus, a lot of the city construction was designed to facilitate horses & buggies more than foot travel, which just moved straight into cars and then kept that spread out sprawl. That's why there's not built-in pedestrian infrastructure as much the way there is in most of the rest of the world (and also why it extra sucks having few to no good public transportation options).
    You get more in the Eastern US, especially in the original 13 colony states, and some on the West Coast when that hit the far border with all the gold rush centralizing more people, but even then, it's nothing like other places in the world because of that.

Even most cities outside of major population centers didn't have commuter train or street car service, especially towards the midwest.

      I still find it interesting that in early American history we didn't have tipping, and it was actually considered rude to tip. It was seen as a bit of an insult to the worker, saying they needed extra money to do their job.
      Europe had a strong tipping culture, which dated back to tax loopholes. Wages were taxed, but gifts were not, so many people were paid in gifts, called a tip. This was often for the hired help at estates and such, where the servants weren't officially paid, so visitors would gift them things for service. This then worked it's way throughout society.
      When trips to visit Europe became common, the higher society Americans taking trips brought tipping back as a way to emulate the high society in Europe. Then it worked its way down through the social ranks in America. Afterwards, like many things Europe in general and Britain in particular brought to America, they stopped doing it in Europe and now look down on America for still having it.

    Tipping USED to be the main part of a waiter/ress's income to encourage good service. Basically if you get paid according to how much care you put into your work. On top of letting restaurants be able to reduce prices on meals, since they essentially didn't have to pay much of the staff. Not a stable system but it was basically an honor code system that required both sides to not take advantage of the other.
    But now it is an expected additional cost regardless of service and in some cases they have a baseline fee added for service before tip is even asked for. Basically they tried to make the income more stable but it ended up with businesses scamming the shit out of the system for maximum profit.

    I'm with Tenma, America should not require tips for workers, it should be taken care of by the company. That being said, until it's abolished, please tip your waiters and waitresses
    Edit: I've since had a change of heart on the last sentence. Don't tip anyone, it's a toxic culture of gambling whether or not you will earn more based on your service.

      The primary group who are arguing against changing the tipping culture are waiters and waitresses. Why? Because those that don't make it big either because they aren't cut out for the manipulative scheming the position requires or because they have an ethical bone in their body buried somewhere quit, leaving only those that profit off of the tipping culture.
      Meaning that if you want to see the tipping culture go, you will have to actually learn to stop getting suckered into tipping.

      @@OzixiThrill You make it sound so simple as to just find another job, when often times the people who accept these jobs are usually doing it as a first job, or as the only job they can find.
      You suggest a workforce that operates on the tipping system works because people don't think they can, or should, find better work when often times, they really have tried and only found work accepting tips from manipulated customers.
      I am not a waiter/waitress, nor have I ever been, however I know it should not be up to me and the rest of any paying customer to give an employee half of their paycheck. However, that is the position I am put in due to our culture, and simply not tipping makes me look like an asshole rather than someone who wants to abolish tipping culture. To really "see tipping culture go" involves more than just "stop getting suckered into tipping."

      @@cosplayingchao In short, you're ignoring the fact that you are perpetuating the problem and the fact that you got guilt-tripped into it.
      Well over 60% of people who work for tips want the system to stay as-is. With support like that, you'll NEVER get to change the system. Why do they support it, even though it's absolute dogshit for everyone barring a small minority (60% of tipped employees, not the overall workforce)? Because they get a really sweet deal out of it; And the remaining 40% have too high a turnover rate to "matter" in this regard.
      Meaning that unless you cut out the legs from this group of workers supporting the self-destructive system, things won't change.
      Will that suck for people? Yes, yes it will. Unfortunately, without that perios of things going bad, you'll never really get the support for change. It's not even a catch-22 though, as there is a clear, slightly painful way to fix things.

    I grew up as an American citizen in Asia since my dad worked there. I didn't know anything about tipping other than people did that in the US. When I finally moved and tipped for the first time, I ate at a Chili's with my buddy and I tipped $2 cause that's what I got back in change. When we left my buddy was like "dude was that all you gave her?" I said yes, he said "no wonder she gave you the stank eye when we left."
