    Dude, everyone understands the tipping system, the market isn't gonna correct if it goes away because you'll still be paying the exact same amount.

    You're wrong. Is that clear enough?

    I think you're confused, I'm not the one complaining.

    I don't think a lot of Lemmy understands it doesn't matter how you are subsidizing the wages, you're doing it regardless. Like this clown who thinks food will be cheaper if more cash goes through the owner to the waiter instead of straight to the waiter. Regardless of system the customer is paying for everything, not the owner, unless of course his business is failing. Imagine the entitlement required to desire everyone change their model to make things cheaper for you, at a business that is completely a luxury. You could simply learn to cook instead of whining about tipping.

    This is not true. I've visited the USA multiple times and I've gotten tipping wrong every time.

    the market isn't gonna correct if it goes away because you'll still be paying the exact same amount.

    This is also not really true. You look at a menu in Australia and the price you see is the exact amount you pay. $20 lunch is $20 on the bill. No added tips or taxes or anything.

    For the customer, this system is better.

    Saying that same lunch in the USA would 'have been $14 on the menu in the USA' would not match my experience. In fact, prices for most things were in the same rough ballpark once the exchange rate was factored in.

    Caveat: my last visit was 10 years ago. My experience may be out of date. 15% was considered a normal tip, then.

    I'm sorry you're a moron, and I don't take financial advice from people who can't figure out something as simple as tipping protocol. And quit lying, food is definitely cheaper on average in the states, and greater quantity too.

    The food is pumped with filler trash, so the quantity is definitely there, but the prices aren't as cheap as you think, especially for what you're getting.

    Are you a foreign to the USA trucker who spent a good portion of the last 7 years south of the border? No? I am, and know exactly what I'm talking about, intimately familiar with farm/ranch end prices and also wholesale prices as I now own a restaurant. I'm the rare person who's worked at every end of the food industry and the middle too, as well as being a frequent customer in 22 states and 8 provinces. and very familiar with currency conversions from all the commodity rates, shipping and ordering. Meanwhile you are some fucking guy saying "nuh uh" who likely needs to go to wikipedia to try describe current American farm subsidy policy.
