Pretty obvious that corps, esp. service/hospitality business, are trying to throw costs back on the exhausted consumer.

This actually started years ago, when a few decades after breaking janitor unions, hotels began "Recommending" $5/night for room service instead of $5-10 for a week's stay. Back then the millie chicks hadn't fully taken over Media yet so there was pushback in the news.

Now, Restaurants are trying to normalize 20% tips, and tipping for takeou/counter staff at all. Nope!

They already hiked their prices big league before the 20% tip push, so wait staff are already getting proportionally more.

Remember: 15% meh, 18% Good, 20%+ excellent, amazing, beyond the call of duty

And this push started before the $15-18/hr minimum wage hikes in some states.

Some reforms:

Ban listing over 20% on displays that solicit tips "15% is the (Your State) Usual and Customary Tip" must be displayed on all service business checkout devices

Restaurants forbidden from adding on a gratituity in excess of 15% unless there were 8 or more diners and/or the bill was in excess of $1000

"Right to Work" States cannot call themselves that if they require certain non-state, non-public hourly wage employees to work certain shifts.

When they mandate that, it's a "Mandate to Corporate-Socialist Exploitation" state

I now have the rule that if I order standing up, no tip.

If they have to come to my table, take my order, refill my drinks, bring me my food and then the bill at the end - fine, I'll tip. Drive through? Fuck no. Fast food counter service? Only if it's a mom & pop shop.

If I tip, it's always in cash. Let the fags and the waitresses fight over the pile later.

Everything else is an entitlement these days, why not tipping? It's reparations for their not being able to spend more time on their phones and computers.

They've made tipping subversive, LOL!
