General - Minimum wages? - View Post

Might I add, I don't like how tipping in the US has gone from "Sign of appreciation" to "Must be done or the person can't eat."


It turns something that used to be classy into something that's a built in cost to your meal.


If i was a politican i'd work to remove exceptions to minium wage... sure you'd probably end up paying more, as you'd have to pay more for the food to cover minium wage, and then tip on top of that.

But it's just the principle of the matter.  I tend to not tip anything less then 20% even with shitty service, because well, those people freakin need the money... and everyone can have a bad day.
