50% of restaurants include it to the receipt automatically, the other half includes the total tip calculation (18%, 20%, 22%) for customers to include in the receipt. It’s because America has this shitty tradition where they pay their servers half the minimum wage, and expect the customers tip to cover a livable wage.

It's exhausting to hear people call people from the United States "Americans".

I don’t think a single Canadian or anyone in Central America would consider themselves “American”.

As someone from America who worked in restaurants for 11 years - we don't disagree. Tipping culture is dumb as can be and needs to be stopped from a governmental policy standpoint because workers sure don't have the power to change it.

its a fucked cycle
if you dont tip, youre a pretty bad person because a lot of these people rely on tips for a liveable wage because employers dont pay them enough knowing this

I've never met someone that actually likes tipping culture, it's a structural issue that some states have addressed but our government is definitely not going to do anything about it rn
