"Survey: Majority Believe Tipping is Out of Control"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by USA TODAY

A survey by WalletHub reveals that nearly 3 in 4 people believe tipping culture has become excessive, with many feeling that businesses are relying on tips to replace employee salaries. The survey also indicates that 78% of respondents think automatic service charges should be banned, and half of them feel pressured to leave tips. Experts warn of potential negative outcomes if this trend continues, while recent stats show a growing fatigue with tipping requests. Calls for businesses to increase wages and a new law in California aiming to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers highlight the ongoing debate around tipping and fair compensation.

South Park Creators Revolutionize Restaurant Industry with No-Tipping Policy

Originally Published 2 years ago — by YourTango

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of "South Park," have purchased the iconic Denver restaurant Casa Bonita and decided to ban tipping altogether. Initially, they planned to pay an hourly wage plus tips, but later changed their minds and opted for a standard $30 per hour salary for all employees. While some applaud the move, others are unhappy about the pay cut on days when the restaurant is full. Casa Bonita's management believes the new pay scheme will provide stability and fairness, treating the restaurant more like an attraction where diners purchase tickets. However, it highlights the deeply entrenched tipping culture in the American restaurant industry.
