Plus, the dirty little secret the politicians pushing for this policy didn't mention is that actually over one-third of tipped employees in America don't even earn enough money to pay any income taxes at all.
Yeah, which is where we are now.
Tip fatigue.
People are freaking done.
Everywhere I go on social media, I see people complaining about tipping.
I'm pretty sure the entire system has reached its, I'll just say it, tipping point.
Yeah, it's interesting because what you said something at the beginning of this episode that was really salient.
And what you said was it's funny that Americans were initially turned off by tipping because it seems so European.
But anyone that's traveled to Europe knows that now Europeans don't really have this system.
And we do.
And spoiler alert, Europe's full of restaurants.
Yes.
They're making it work.
Those restaurants are full of servers.
And those restaurants that are full of servers are also full of customers, and the customers don't tip, and the staff doesn't expect it.
Somehow, the business model just works.
Now, look, again, it's not so different than the no tipping required model that was tried in America, which is they just charge you up front for everything and then pay their employees a higher wage.
Look, and at the risk of sounding like I'm on a soapbox, I don't think tipping is the problem.
Tipping is the symptom.
We've built an economic system in America where maximum profit is the only acceptable outcome.
