So you’re cool with employers paying people $2.70 an hour because they might get 20% in tips? Advertising a lower price for something but then seeing extra charges on the bill that you didn’t even know you agreed to when you sat down?
That makes more sense than just paying the people a livable wage and showing people the actual price they will pay?
No as I said, the employee feels a difference, tipping would then be mandatory as it is baked into the price, good for them.
But what is the actual functional difference TO YOU, the customer? Beyond having to do math and having a choice on tipping, of course. THAT was the question.
Yeah I am aware of my local customs and if I travel I learn the practices of the place I go, so “that doesn’t happen to me.” I see the price and know that tax will be added, and tip will be given, so math must be done. It really isn’t that difficult. If I went to Japan I wouldn’t tip, because it is rude there, so while I’d feel like a jerk not tipping as it is the culture I’m used to that is my problem to deal with instead of forcing them to take the cash.
Should it change? Sure. Has it? No. Until it does not tipping only harms those workers you claim to support.

Brainwashed people think this way.

Here’s the thing. I don’t need something to affect me before I care. Some people really just can’t grasp that concept.
And by “caring” do you mean supporting the business and not tipping the worker?
