    Sorry, but I pay for the food and if I feel its deserved, the service. Being a mooch would be not paying g for the food.

    Do away with tipping and food prices go up by the cost of paying workers a fair wage. To the consumer it ends up being an even trade. Ultimately, the only group getting hurt is the owners.

    It works fine in other countries but can’t in the US because…?

      You can look at it however you want, but if you aren’t tipping in the US, you are a MOOCH. It doesn’t matter if you disagree, that is the truth in the society you live in.

      Should employers pay their employees more? Absolutely! But I don’t have control over that and you don’t either. What we do have control over, is how much we tip. If you want to change the society you live in; making waiters and waitresses go without, isn’t the way.
