"They would prefer instead an increase in the basic salary of restaurant employees." Crazy how indoctrinated the Swiss are

Americans and their obsession with tiping will never cease to be amazing. The swiss are right.
100% companies should pay staff a living wage. Tipping is enabling them to take advantage of staff.
Americans don't want mandatory tipping, but it's so integrated into the system that the only way to avoid it is to not eat out.
So don't.
You have a kitchen don't you? Let that industry evolve or die.
I don't. I also don't pay for subscriptions, but I can still complain about how subscription services are largely rent seeking. Voting with your wallet doesn't work.
Mandatory tipping is baloney. I feel like there's a word for when you charge a required percentage on a transaction, but I'm taxing myself trying to think of it
I don't get why restaurateurs think they're special and don't need to pay their employees a living wage.
Because laws don't make them pay a living wage.
that's you Europe for ya
