Is there any realistic way where tipping in the US goes away and we start to be like other countries (e.g. Europe/Asia)? Raise the price of the food, pay servers a fair wage, no tips? Just a dream 😅

I'm guessing no because businesses will fight hard against this (customers subsidize wages) and certain servers benefit from tipping as well.

Only other thing I can think of is if everyone collectively decides not to ever tip again and it forces business to change. Won't happen though.

I've just stopped tipping. Be the difference you want to see.

I think we went the other way during Covid. I just got lunch from a cafe that scooped my food onto a plate and when I went to check out, the default tip rate was 18%. I’m not tipping anything for serving pre-cooked food onto a plate. There was no service provided. I don’t tip the warehouse worker 18% for pulling my order off the shelf, I don’t think the food service worker should expect a tip if there was no service provided on top of just scooping food from pan to dish. Every food truck has 15% to 20% standard tip for what is effectively an ordering counter. Even food delivery apps have pre-selected tips of 20% to 40% on top of the service fee. Sorry, but I’m not tipping you a big amount to drive my food a mile.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
