Chris Warkentin, thanks for responding. Yeah, I’m in agreement with you. I have worked in several restaurants and I’ve been places where tipping isn’t the standard. I can see the issue from a variety of sides.

When you add tipping to the low wages it’s going to create a mess for everyone. But when you mix that mess with the issues we already have in this country, it is toxic. You have inspired me to consider this more at the industry and policy level. Thanks — Sam
