Came to say, looks like a certain business needs to rework their business model or go bust.

if you can't afford to pay your staff properly, you can't afford to run a business here.

Why should the customer also be paying the $3.40?

"If you can't afford to pay your fucking employees even the minimum wage, you don't deserve to run a business."

I prefer countries that don't tip and just pay their employees a reasonable wage. Also when did the tip jump from 15% customary to 25% to 35% minimum? Anyways they're right, vote with your dollars to not be a customer of establishments abusing the tip system to pay their employees slave wages. Maybe last note, as far as I'm aware if tips don't make up the difference the employer is legally inclined to pay their staff at least minimum wage in most places.

I thought the normal tip for satisfactory service was 15%.

Dont do well, ignore me, make faces if i ask for more water.... then lucky to get anything.

20% and over was for really good service of something they did for you above and beyond.

When did 25 and 30% become normal

FTFY

Feels like ragebait

If your customers can't afford to tip, you should consider paying your staff.

This has to be fake... "we don't pay our staff..."

"our people work damn hard ... for only $2.13/h"

"show some respect ... to the workers we only pay $2.13/h"

Businesses have successfully managed to underpay staff then shame customers for not making up for it. What a rotten culture.

JFC... How about "if you can't afford to pay your employees you can't afford your business."

Leaving their point aside for a moment, their math is nonsensical, as they included the waiter's salary in the total.

I shouldn’t have to pay your staff with tips but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This just feels like the same thing as the idea of advertising the product in the shop without the tax added on, and then going to the till and the price being different. What's the point in the other price when that isn't the number i'm going to be paying.

Just make the food cost the second price in the first place and pay your workers. Scumbags.

This offsets costs for the business and makes the customer compensate for lower wages. The whole point here is to make you pay for it not corporates and corporations. That's why taxes should be higher like 99%. Except they own politicians.

I’d imagine this is fake, even here in America. No company name or anything.

Too lazy right now to search

Get the fuck outta here with that 25%. You get 20% for good service, and if you're lucky I'll round up to the nearest dollar if I'm paying cash.

Take my business elsewhere, you say? Gotcha. And for the record, I tip very well.

If this isn't fake, the proprietor is clearly completely tone deaf to the demands of the hospitality industry.

That can’t be real.

They could have saved money on ink by stopping the printing after the 2nd line.
