Suggested Daily Topic
To make things more interesting I'm going add a suggested daily topic. To perk up discussion between Steemians. As always you are free to comment whatever you like to enter. You do not have to follow this suggestion.
The daily topic for today is:
Should Restaurants Do Away With Tipping?
Tipping is supposed to be for good service. However, in America it has become custom even if service isn't very good. It is a bit painful to me to leave 15 - 20% tip for fair to even borderline bad service. So should this custom be done away with and waiters get paid fair wages? Or continue with the status quo?
In case you don't know who I am here is my intro post from way back:

Story of an honest Steemian. Honesty in today's world it still exists!!
Screw tips, pay them a market wage.
As a food courier a large percentage of my income from work comes from tips, now that is for the delivery service alone. Typically the delivery fee just covers estimated travel expenses and the tip at the end of the night is my actual income.
Now if I screw up I don’t expect a tip, if I am rude or if I take too long I do not expect a tip. Basically agree with you it should be based on service and not something that is expected and I would love for my wages to be increased so I did not have to rely on the tip for my income at the end of the night!

I think your suggestion would be better too :)
Glad you agree 😎

Yes. The simplest thing to do is to add a service charge and show the rate on the menu. This will reduce waiters' income volatility. It will also give waitresses more leverage to deal with sexually harassing customers.

Yes, do away with tipping. They can add a 15 or 20% service charge to the bill....or....just raise the prices and raise the salaries of waiters/waitresses.
At least the number of visitors would provide a loss for the place to eat. A quiet dining area and no food menu prices provide an opportunity for price play.
In some countries, there are now many restaurants forbidding tip-giving to waiters. This is because the tip given when accumulated sometimes even greater than the salary of employees. Of course this causes social jealousy against fellow servants.
It depends on how you look at it, the tips are at the same time it provides the service and I do not have to be obligatory, if you lend me a good service, I decide how much I give you and already., Not that of a percentage that in the end is not given to who provides the service that the waiter is the one who gives the face to give you the attention.
What if you want to give a tip? is there a rule?
Yes, Tipping is supposed to be paid for good service.
There should not be a custom to pay a tip even after a bad service.
it's a customer's will and wishes to tip to services that they received from waiter and he( waiter) satisfies the customer.
I'm going my own way just to vent a little.
Steemit has tons of cool groups that focus on things like technology, photography, nature, etc., but there really isn't a group I know of where everybody gets together and posts about political things. That seems odd to me, given how this platform is practically launched on a libertarian ideology.
This is one of good contest to support newbie on Steemit platform.
And everyone wants to earn some more points to grow on this platform.
My past experience said that there are two types of users on this platform, one of them who are here since past 1-2 years and they know most of things about Steemit rules and regulations.
And they're doing good on the other hand newbies have not much knowledge about Steemit and they are struggling to improve.
And such give away really help them to grow.
Thanks @bunnypuncher
I try :)
Tipping is part of a waiter/waitress' salary at many restaurants. It is bad to have to leave a tip for someone who is rude or even mean. I believe there should be (I hate to sound like a joke) a survey with an advice box to explain what you didn't like about the service. At least this way you would be leaving a "tip."
Here in germany, tipping is absolutely optional, but we still do it in case we either received good service or for the sake of convenience. If you have 17.47€ on your bill, just handing out 20 is much simpler than one of the parties having to look for money.
One thing I would like to mention here is that we do have some kind of "tipping system" if you so will in grocery stores. If you are about to pay, you can say "Round it up, please". Doing so will round up the amount of money you have to pay to an even number, usually just a couple cents. This money will then be used for charitable causes, which is a very cool thing to do if you think about it.
To finish this up, I remember having watched a hilarious YT Video on the topic of tipping, I highly suggest giving it a go.
tip is included in the service. but if the tip requires us to pay more, then I do not agree
In my country Venezuela the tips are not received by the restaurant, they are received by the innkeeper or as you call them, waiters. If the question was related in my country, then I would say that it is not worth getting rid of the tips because those are a great help for the complement of the salary of the innkeeper or waiter. In my country Venezuela the restaurant receives 10% if you consume internally in the restaurant, if you ask for the food to go, do not charge that 10%
As I stand before the Lord at the end of my life, I hope that I will not have the least talent I use, so I can say I use all that You Give me
When I meet successful people, I will ask about 100 questions to find out who the reason for their success. Their answers are always the same: perseverance, hard work and employing good people.
Patience does not mean to be silent when feeling disadvantaged, but able to express his views in a controlled way.
Do not be easy to deduce a person's personality, because there are always unique things in someone who you can find after long interaction.
I personally think that tips should be something you can voluntarily give reward an outstanding service but not something the other person needs to survive.
In a legal manner, a mandatory service charge is not considered a gratuity or gratuity. Often, restaurants add these types of charges to large group bills, or when they host contracted events. In most states, this money belongs to the owner of the restaurant and is subject to sales taxes, although the owner in question can distribute it among the waiters and waiters in order to fulfill their obligations with respect to to the minimum wage. The state of Michigan has a law introduced in 2002 that requires restaurants to establish clearly when mandatory service charges are shared among employees, and when they are retained by the restaurant owner; however, there are no current laws that require restaurants to disclose this circumstance.
Really great thing you are still doing those!
Just saw it on my feed again and thought I will give it a try again!
Thanks for doing this and good luck to all!!!
100% sure tips should be only for good service, I try to keep it like that except when I'm forced to pay those tips... I think as you said, we should remove them and let people pay tips only if they enjoy the service so much that they want to pay a little extra as thanks.
Tips can be kept,but when the person who came to eat is poor but forced to give him tips is bad.i don't like those waters.
I worked in a restaurant for 2 years ... when the tip really goes to the innkeeper it is a direct benefit for the employee. this maintains the quality of the service. At least in my case I always tried to give good service, not always receive a tip
If the service is good the tip will be good

Hello everyone
It is deep in the culture, leave it how it is. Tip less if necessary.
should be freely chosen, whether to give it or not
Good job i want to participate in this contest and i won 5 sbd

Yes, like the rest of the world.
Yes.
There's a lot more to say, but for now... yes.
I want to sale 60SBD any one interested to buy? Payment via vesternunion
I appreciate your effort, Sir, You are doing great.
Thank you :-)
This is a problem, because waiters earn less than other workers earn per hour, which puts them in a bad financial position, unless the employer increases their hourly wage, in fact, owners are allowed to get more money at the expense of their employees.
Wao its great deal

Today is the luckiest day of the year, 7/7, also my Birthday.
Tip is given for good service
When it is a bad service then one should not give tip as i do. When the food quality reach minimum average then tip could be giveaway.
Makin' random comments and yes they should pay their waiters a better wage.
Tipping is not only to reward the waiter/bartender's good service and attention, It also exists to balance the below minimum wage they get paid!
They should have a regular fixed salary for their work
You are helping the authors. Nice giveaway initiative!!
Great post..
