Tipping is the practice of having customers subsidize a portion of the companies labor. Often times, the majority of their labor. Ask yourselves why it should be on you to pay them. We dont pay Walmart or other retail employees wages through tipping. Although Im sure retail employers would love it if we started. All companies, restaurants included, should pay their servers a reasonable wage. Tipping culture is ridiculous, and just like with anything else good service should just be the baseline expectation. Employers have the tools to track the level of service their servers are providing, and they can be responsible for rewarding good service and correcting bad service, without customers needing to pay up.
