Im having beers at bar ordered wings and tipped $2 everything the bartender brings me.

Beer = $6

tip for beer $2

wings = $20ish

Tip for wings from bartender = $2

Total tips = $4

==============================

Same order from waitress/er = $26

Tip = $5.20

Now I know this is micro example but extrapolate this over several drinks with food and the difference swings the other way. The question remains tho, am I tipping correctly?

    I think we collectively as a culture would need to agree not to tip

    That’s what I’m saying.

    which isn’t going to happen.

    Not with that attitude it won’t!

    A much easier way would be through legislation and forcing employers to pay fair wages.

    Then you get into the other massive issues - define “fair”. Who defines what is a fair wage? Is it just minimum wage enforcement? If you raise the minimum wage for servers then you have to raise it almost everywhere else, which will fuel massive inflation and job losses.

    I don’t think customers would be inclined to tip someone making a fair wage.

    But when you tip you have no idea what the servers wage is.

    Also as someone else pointed out in here, some states tried to get rid of tipping by raising the minimum wage of these servers and they complained so much the government abandoned it.
