And thats pretty much the entire argument any time we have a tipping debate. An argument that never gets a good response.
The whole concept of tipping is just plain stupid. People should be paid the wage they earn and thats all. If they dont like the job they can do what I did: Join the Navy and work your ass off for less than minimum wage and pray you survive at least 4 years, get an honorable discharge and can dip in to that generous 14,100 dollars for college.
Most other countries in the world dont even have tipping, its a concept people dont understand. Its only used in a handful of western cultures, and its always a huge topic for anger, hatred, and arguing. It never seems to solve any problems and when people rely on it, it causes problems.
I agree...its not my fault what your career choice is. I shouldnt HAVE to pay you a gratuity. I do not mind tipping for good service but I do not feel like Im obligated to do so.
