This is what really confuses me about people annoyed with tipping culture. If we didn't have to tip, but restaurants had to pay their workers enough to make workers stay, food prices would be an extra 18-25% higher anyways. At least with tipping you know it's going to the staff.
Food service is the worst type of job, with really NO benefits except for tipping, and even then. I make just as much in my cushy accounting clerk job (which is the lowest level of accounting) as I did as a server. Except now I have benefits and TONS of free time to goof off on Lemmy. Serving was way way way worse.
Restaurants are a luxury. You pay luxury prices for these services or make your food at home.
