    But if they get the $18/hr, there’s no need to tip, right? Right?

        My social anxiety increased to an all time high when I visited the US. The pressure to tip is real.

        The problem is that those receiving the tips will continue to expect them no matter how high their wage is. Some would even argue that they get overall lower income if the increase in base wage eliminates tipping.

        Tipped employees make WAY more than minimum wage

        My 18 year old with her first job made $130 in 4 hours this week. Minimum wage will never keep up with tipped wages, which is the exact reason that people choose tipped jobs.

          MANDATORY tipping should end. Tipping on top of fair wages can and does still exist in most of the world.

            No it really shouldn’t. No tipped employees thinks it should

              Tipped employee. I like the tips, but it’d be nice if my livable wage was guaranteed from the company and not by the potential gratitude of random strangers.

                  Lol I like how you’re first like “no tipped employee wants to lose tips” and when someone chimed in you just immediately dismiss their opinion and tell them to get a different job instead.

                  Sounds like you wanna keep tipping culture and you’re just trying to justify it however you can.

      It’s a step forward at least. Tipping culture is terrible but think what good press one of these apps would get with “tips included in delivery fee” or whatever perfect marketing slogan they can come up with.
