It’s dystopian in a way, to use “gratuity” on your little slip of paper and your LCD screen with its convenient calculations while this practice is even legal anymore let alone publicly acceptable. Which it still seems to be - record screech - just kidding it’s guilt.

You call free market I call subsidy. False profitability in the name of jobs paid for by passing the majority of the wage onto the consumer.
