It’s just kind of silly to say “we have a tipping culture” in the same argument as “we just illegally deported a guy to El Salvador”
Come for the menial and absurd, stay for the flagrant anti-constitutional (in spirit) issues.
Don't you just go out to eat knowing the price is going to be 20% higher after tip? I can understand the desire for predictability, but menu prices are artificially low as they don't account for labor. If tipping were 'abolished' food service prices would have to rise 10-20% across the board to compensate.
That would be fairer and more honest
I'm not talking about tips. You already get random super fine print 10-20% "service" surcharges on your bill at many restaurants. This is not the tip.
