Good.
Tipping has gotten way out of hand and I’d be glad to see it go.
A lot of places ask for a large % tip now, and often it’s expected that you do so.
Why eliminate tipping? Just pay everyone $30 and put up cards telling the customers tipping is completely optional.
Tipping is ingrained in our culture so much that people will still feel obligated to. The best way to stop it is to take the tip line off the receipt entirely.
The system doesn’t make much sense if some servers are better than others, but make the same.
Base pay has to be the same. You get merit based raised after that. How will they know who’s better and who’s worse at first? They won’t that’s why base pay is equal for everyone.
Some employees have so much experience or other skills that they can immediately ask for a higher base pay but it’s not the average experience.
Most jobs work that way. A job has a set pay, and you can get fired or promoted. Tipping is unusual: A janitor doesnt get paid a different amount each paycheck because of how clean others feel it is this week. Cashiers who help you find things in the store don’t make more that day.
