Like I order a carry out pizza. I call and get a call center now. I go pick up the pizza, they hand it to me and take my payment. I’m not tipping you. I’ve done that job at several pizza places. I paid for the pizza, it’s priced to reflect the overhead of the restaurant. If I paid $10 for the pizza, you better believe I’d be tipping them, but it’s like 20-30

They don't mention the dirty little secret that much of tipped income is not reported to be taxed - why waitstaff love cash tips. My mom was a waitress.
@DanCooper404 I do the same! I carry cash in small bills just for this purpose. I NEVER tip with a card. One thing I was told was to write "cash" in the tip line so that the waiter remembers that you tipped in cash and doesn't think you are a cheapskate & spit in ur food next time 😅

Massachusetts beat this back! The Restaurant Association fought hard and all the tipped employees voted NO. "One Fair Wage" got obliterated in Massachusetts. Saru Jayaraman is pure evil.
Something else that I as a service worker would love for Reason to investigate is the activists that campaign to force small businesses to be handicap accessible. Most businesses can't afford ramps. A coffee shop in a historic neighborhood may not be able to change the facade of the building at all. In my progressive area there have been many boycotts of businesses that weren't handicap accessible, robbing decent people of jobs and ultimately robbing the community of businesses that were serving them. People don't understand that not everywhere can be accessible or that if you want places to update their layout, you have to support them so they can afford it. I hate to say it but it truly is a lot of privileged people punching the little guys.
The reality is, I tip less now because everything costs more. I only have so much money to go around. When a medium latte cost $4, I would tip a dollar. Now it costs $5.50. I don't tip, and I buy less of them (bring more coffee from home).
If people really believe a minimum wage is needed we should index it to inflation since 1938. The minimum wage was created in 1938, it was 25 cents an hour. That amount, 25 cents, adjusted for inflation is $5.60 per hour.
A lot of small businesses don't have an incentive to hire servers or bartenders because they don't have the flow into the business at a particular time, but a server or bartender might take a position knowing that people will come into be served by them. That's why tipping works better than just a flat wage for restaurants and workers. When it comes to chain restaurants, it's not as simple, especially when big corporations can keep the cost of the meals low compared with a small family run establishment with higher costs. Smaller businesses tend to be better options for entertaining than corporations and therefore forcing a higher minimum wage just drives the market towards consolidation, which no one wants.
I'm sorry but I've got to say it. This is what always happens when you increase minimum wage. Small businesses go out of business and fire staff and nobody seems to care.

People who want this don't care if they ruin a business or the workwr who no longer has a job. It's about feeling moral. Here in Washington they changed the minimum wage and businesses used to be able to count tips towards that wage. Now they cannot... Restaurants said we can't afford it and people were like then you should go out of business. Crazy.
Critics of the American tipping system are so numerous that it has become a cliché, though it's funny how almost none of them have ever actually worked for tips.
As a former waiter, I hate the tipping system. That said, I loved how on slow days I just did homework and read books... making like half the minimum wage. These goons pushing for crazy minimum wages would say i shouldn't be allowed to do that and it would be better for the owner to send me home. Minimum wage decreases the flexibility in the marketplace.
I live in California & the $20 minimum wage lost me my job. Lots of people lost their jobs, or had their hours cut. Now going out to eat cost more & service is worse. The crazy thing was I read articles claiming this raise had very little impact on restaurants & employees. That's BS!

Then supporting her cause with erroneous statistics is absolutely wild. Harvard and Yale must be so proud. SMH And the irony of her organization being sued for wage theft and discrimination LMAO
The part that drives me most insane about this is that these advocacy groups talk about protecting the little guy, but the only people who benefit in the long run from minimum wage increase is the big corporations that can eat the costs and now have less competition as smaller businesses go under. Whereas every time someone supposedly is better off because their wage increased, a couple of months later they're already talking that it isn't enough because either their hours were cut, or inflation already ate up the additional income. In Ontario when our minimum wage jumped to $14, I was working at a salon that had 11 staff that immediately shrunk to 9, and we were getting fewer hours on top of that. And when our prices increased to reflect the new wages, people started tipping less as well. I'd say it was about $500 less in my pocket at the end of the month after all was said and done.

Worked sometimes hourly and other times for tips. Earning tips was hit-or-miss, but an important experience I wouldn't've wanted to do wothout. Know the many unintended consequences before you take that option away.
I honestly hate tip culture, I see it as a business forcing the customer to compensate for the lower pay they're paying their employees, not tipping is an option, but I also don't want to look like an asshole, so tipping is kinda required. There are nations that see tipping as a bad thing, I want to get there, where we see the *tipper* as the asshole. I understand that means higher costs for what I'm buying, but that higher cost should go towards paying the employees more. The fact one guy in this piece said he made in one day, what some office workers make in a year is super telling that we need to kill tipping, it's basically an extra tax on the consumer. I don't endorse a minimum wage at all, I think that's stupid and the business should be able to determine what they want to pay their workers, if someone is willing to work for less, who cares if both people are in agreement to the terms of employment? As a libertarian, I think we need to make that the business of the employee and employer, not the government.
@@everythingisfine9988 and look like an asshole? I gave a 5 dollar tip on a $20 bill once at a Chinese restaurant and I got the nastiest stares from the staff on my way out, you thought I just walked out without giving them anything with the evil eyes that were being shot at me. If I could avoid tipping I would, but I also like eating out and not worrying about people spitting in my food because they remembered I didn't tip.
Gov needs to get out of the free market and let workers and companies work out what's best for themselves on a case by case basis. One size fits also just means that it fits no one
I had to quit a job I really liked and move when Massachusetts raised its minimum wage to $15. Before that I was making $13, but I got payed $19.50 an hour for my 12 hour Sunday shift and the 20 hours of overtime I worked every week. It was an easy job and I had a lot of free time at work while the machine I took care of ran so I didn’t mind being there for 60 hours a week. When the state raised minimum wage the company took away time and a half on Sunday and most overtime. I started bringing home almost $400 less a week after that. I couldn’t afford that so I got a second job to make up for the 20 hours I lost, but 60 hours at $15 an hour was still $100 less a week than I was making with the extra Sunday pay and overtime. I was struggling to make ends meet with that. The worst part about the whole thing was my left wing family members who would tell me how lucky I am that Democrats raised my wages. I would try to explain that I’m making way less money. I would do the basic math and show them my paychecks to prove it. But they would tell me that I’m wrong and that I must have fallen for right wing conspiracy theory’s. They’re a bunch of smug delusional morons.
10% of a 100 dollar bill. 10 bucks per table, suppose they serve 40 tables per day and half of them don’t tip. That’s 200 bucks plus their hourly and that’s a better than working 8 hours a day for just 15 an hour. Epsecially cuz not all tips are reported so it’s tax free money too
That is exactly what the workers DONT want, they make more than minimum wage. I love tipping, I used to love getting tips so I like being able to make ppl happy (and get good service while I'm at it, its a win-win!)
@Marty234 so it should be on customers willingness if they want to tip them or not it's not what is expected from us as customers. Because everyone works hard in their jobs and don't get tipped like they do.
@@Coverpage2568 I actually agree with you that the whole tipping system is ridiculous, It puts the onus on customers to pay a server's wage, and causes servers to feel resentful and frustrated when customers don't want to do that. However, this video is about this one activist and her made-up silly movement. Her entire premise is "I need to rescue these poor waiters and bartenders." Those people have made it clear her help is unwelcome. I'm sure she's helping *herself* however, as she can collect a salary as an advocate (particularly if she runs a non-profit) all the while soliciting celebrities and rich people for tax-deductible donations. She's a grifter., and doesn't care about the people she is purporting to help. Ime, that is typical of professional "advocates." Selfish and fake.
Why? Can you're paying these shills to say they want less money that's why. Any ony of these shills id gladly carve a new smile on btw. And I'm not liberal.
Tips should be eliminated entirely, it is THE reason I do not want to go out to eat. Menu prices are absured, and you expect me to pay 20% on top of that, in additon to taxes? No sir, find a way to reduce costs for the consumer, and become more efficient in your business practices.
It's really easy. Just post signs in the restaurants that state, due to new regulations, the new recommended tip percentage is 10%. Customers will still pay about the same, and the restaurants can raise their prices to cover it.
I was hoping for the Massachusetts ballot to be passed so I could stop tipping. I don't tip the stock boy, cashier, bagged at my grocery store. Why would I tip a waiter making the same hourly wage? If you don't like it, get a job that is not tip based.
The Indian woman is a grifter. She makes a living through this fake activism.

10% of a 100 dollar bill. 10 bucks per table, suppose they serve 40 tables per day and half of them don’t tip. That’s 200 bucks plus their hourly and that’s a better than working 8 hours a day for just 15 an hour. Epsecially cuz not all tips are reported so it’s tax free money too
Labor "activists"
Not the actual labor itself. Does it have much to do with better conditions for the worker?
Just end mandatory tipping, we did not employed you your employer did.
Edit :- Tipping is alternative to begging.
That is exactly what the workers DONT want, they make more than minimum wage.
I love tipping, I used to love getting tips so I like being able to make ppl happy (and get good service while I'm at it, its a win-win!)
@Marty234 so it should be on customers willingness if they want to tip them or not it's not what is expected from us as customers. Because everyone works hard in their jobs and don't get tipped like they do.
end it? it never started. there is no mandatory tipping.
@@brookiegremlin6660 They ridicule us customers if we don't tip them. Like they just can't demand tip for decent service, have some self respect ppl.
@@Coverpage2568 I actually agree with you that the whole tipping system is ridiculous, It puts the onus on customers to pay a server's wage, and causes servers to feel resentful and frustrated when customers don't want to do that.
However, this video is about this one activist and her made-up silly movement. Her entire premise is "I need to rescue these poor waiters and bartenders." Those people have made it clear her help is unwelcome. I'm sure she's helping *herself* however, as she can collect a salary as an advocate (particularly if she runs a non-profit) all the while soliciting celebrities and rich people for tax-deductible donations. She's a grifter., and doesn't care about the people she is purporting to help. Ime, that is typical of professional "advocates." Selfish and fake.
Why? Can you're paying these shills to say they want less money that's why. Any ony of these shills id gladly carve a new smile on btw. And I'm not liberal.
Tips should be eliminated entirely, it is THE reason I do not want to go out to eat. Menu prices are absured, and you expect me to pay 20% on top of that, in additon to taxes? No sir, find a way to reduce costs for the consumer, and become more efficient in your business practices.
She didn't link it to slavery....history did.
So we can blame restaurant workers for this horrid tipping culture. Got it.
Yah tipping is like begging if it's not done out of will of customer.
As a consumer, I'd prefer to see higher prices in restaurants, and eliminate tipping altogether.
It's really easy. Just post signs in the restaurants that state, due to new regulations, the new recommended tip percentage is 10%. Customers will still pay about the same, and the restaurants can raise their prices to cover it.
I was hoping for the Massachusetts ballot to be passed so I could stop tipping. I don't tip the stock boy, cashier, bagged at my grocery store. Why would I tip a waiter making the same hourly wage? If you don't like it, get a job that is not tip based.
