When are Americans just gonna up the minimum wage, and skip the tipping? It’s so degrading and unequal that some people has to make a living by other generosity. Therefore it’s considered extremely rude not to tip - so why not just include the tip in the price of the service?
I hope the restaurant industry’s trend away from tipping spreads to the wedding sector before I get married. This psuedocompulsory ambiguous bribery is the last thing I want to deal with on my wedding day, let me just pay for the services.
