Why should the minimum wage bartender at Brewdog get an automatic 10% tip when the minimum wage employee at Tesco doesn’t?
Well many waiters earn considerably more than the minimum wage in the US. In large part because of this system. I'm not sure why does the society value their work that much (in relation to most other service workers which is of course unfair). However, essentially what you're advocating is lower wages for some service workers just because the rest are possibly overpaid?
How have you arrived at that conclusion? I am arguing that a) the tip should be included in the price, and b) people should be paid a fair wage by their employer WITHOUT sneaking hidden fees onto customers.
Also, I’ve made it abundantly clear I’m referring to the UK, yet you keep bringing up America. You seem determined to misunderstand me.
