Why tipping is such a big deal in murica? Why not just paying your employees?

>> No.54699191

Tipping is just code from donating simp money to cute waitresses.

just search the archives for past tipping threads, there's one a day everyday going back several years. surely the answer you seek is there?

They don’t want it. The workers are unironically making way more on tips than they ever would if they were paid “a fair wage” based on their real value.

Truth is that tipping is legalized extortion based on guilt that allows low-value people to extract monetary value because they happen to be born in a country with such a broken system.

Not OP but no there's really no answer in those threads. Those threads never make any sense at all. The very concept of "tipping" is utterly inexplicable and so is the fact people seem to think they have to tip. It all makes zero sense whatsoever.

>based on guilt
Why would it cause guilt? How? What's the psychological mechanism? Does it have something to do with a Christian mindset (Christians are very common in the USA)? Does it stem from their brainwashing of feeling obligated to donate money to churches to be "forgiven" by their jewish god and donating to niggerloving charities and refugee aid organizations and so on otherwise they'll burn in hell, because they're bad and evil if they're better off than poorfags and thirdworlders? And that you're supposed to give up your possessions and become poor because that makes you "closer to god" and shit? Is that where it comes from? So therefore "tipping", in other words paying more than you owe, feels good somehow? Can't make sense of it.

You've already paid for the thing, whether it's a meal at a restaurant or a simple pizza delivery, or whatever, so there's absolutely zero reason to feel guilty about anything.

It causes guilt because most people who expect tips get paid less than minimum wage. Although, If I remember correctly the owner of the business would have to put in money to bring the wage up to the minimum if the tips don't.

Paying your employees is communism
