The Tipping Culture In America Is BROKEN

"meanwhile the tip frequency at Quick Service restaurants such as coffee shops and fast food chains Rose 16 during the same time period"

"more than half of Americans or 60 percent want to do away with tipping entirely"

"43 percent of consumers typically tipped servers 20 or more in 2022 compared to 56 percent of consumers in 2021."

"the federal minimum wage for tipped employees was only two dollars and 13 cents and in 1996 Congress permanently Froze that sub minimum wage at two dollars and 13 cents an hour and that's where it still is to this day"

"studies showed that the restaurants that tried to do away with tips could not compete with the ones that kept the tips and they struggled to keep their best staff and because their best staff weren't taking care of customers they saw less customers as a result"

"the concept to be extremely insulting and not just the dollar amount which right now is 7.25 cents an hour which again is insulting and nowhere near enough a livable wage"
