    Lol and what would be wrong with food costing the same it would with a tip. That’s exactly what the person you disagree with wants. Why wouldn’t you want that?

      I do want it. But that isn’t how it works, so refusing to tip on those grounds is just stealing from the employees. It’s like going to the store, buying something that costs $10, and then handing the cashier $5 and walking away.

        I’m confused by the grocery store example in multiple ways. But I’ll keep it simple and only ask instead if paying $10 for the $10 item at the grocery store would be theft too? What about $15 for the $10 item? Because I just want to know how much this steak costs so I can decide if I actually want it or not. I’m not sure what is ‘fair’ and certainly don’t have some advanced economics degree … but I only got $11 on me. Can I get it or not?

        In what world does a cashier get to keep 50% at the till? If a customer shorts them they get their manager and the house takes the hit. If they miss it and their till is off maybe they get in trouble? But what idiot is going to accept $5 for a $10 transaction and not escalate?

        Garbage analogy

        Stealing. Interesting. What do you breathe?

        If I go to the store, then I’m paying exactly as much as is required for the product I’m willing to buy.

        If I go to a restaurant, then it is exactly the same. It is already that much pricier than ever before and I should pay even more, just to grovel before entitled pricks like you who are trying to guilt me into it by saying it’s stealing? Any sympathy you wanted is out the window with your behavior.

          you do realize that your wage is something that you agreed to with your employer right? you have a choice in the matter.
