Patronizing service establishments is a privilege, not a right. You're always free to cook your own meals, make your own coffee, wash your own clothes, pick up all your own items, and drink alone in your living room. And the places that have added the gratuity option to their POS screens are just that, an option. You're always free to put 0%. There's a big difference between "expected" and "requested". Don't let your own guilt confuse those two words.
Quoted from RCA1:They should get a better job.
Fast food line work should be an entry level job, not a career.
Hmmmm... I wonder if that ever occurred to them. Perhaps you should mention it to the next line cook who makes your food for you. 
Quoted from RCA1:Don't like the wage, don't take the job.
Want a better wage, get a better job.
Yeah, it's just that easy! Why doesn't every desperate person with mouths to feed, bills to pay, and no access to education or employment resources just do that? You're just full of solutions today. 
Quoted from wisefwumyogwave:Say no to point of sale tipping, it encourages those corporations to pay their employees less.
Actually, it's bottom lines, share price, executive greed, and outdated minimum wage laws that encourages corporations to pay their employees less. POS tipping just gives the customer an option to help out people who may be making less than them, struggling in their lives, or simply doing a great job. Which is purely optional. If you don't want to, you don't have to. But to openly protest it, and call for an outright collective ban of it is truly some cold-blooded shit.
Quoted from RCA1:We'll have a student worker for the summer starting in a few weeks. We'll be paying a wage that is more than he's earning now as a part time food service worker, but less than what I would call a "career wage". It's a learning experience position. Most of my "peers" worked similar jobs along the way.
great! that's one kid who won't have to work service industry jobs for the rest of their lives. any chance you're willing to offer this opportunity to the other 4.9Bil other people in the world who are under the age of 39, or are we back to square one?
Quoted from wisefwumyogwave:If you want to participate in aiding the corporation's "bottom line" then go for it. You're being bamboozled.
Dammit, just yesterday I promised myself I wouldn't get bamboozled by another corporation! Why does this keep happening to me??
Quoted from schudel5:Just curious if you are a bar? If so, how well are you paying your employees?
I thought the name Jackbar would be a dead giveaway, but I've learned never to assume.
Anyway, yes, we're a bar. And I suppose how well I pay my employees is subjective, so you'd have to ask them. But our average employee stays with us for 5+ years, if that means anything. That said, they work mostly for tips, so the better question is... how well does the average patron tip? The objective answer seems to be "better than some in this thread".
Quoted from rai:I just saw a sign saying cash tips appreciated.
That means just scamming the federal taxes. I already pay soooo much taxes I’d appreciate if some others would chip in a little.
You really needed to see that sign to come to the conclusion that people prefer to not pay taxes?
Quoted from pincoin:Does anyone tip a funeral director?
i always give the funeral director a tip... I tell them, don't put 'em in sideways.
