I tip 3% less (using debit) if they only have Pepsi, but I "accidentally" leave the difference in change on the table.

I don't want the serving staff to be upset with me and I know that they depend on my tips to meet makes' end, so I don't really tip less. It is more of a statement.

Why does America even use HFCS anymore? It's not like sugar is hard to get.

Tax laws dating back to the late 1970's. Historically the US used sugar just like everyone else. Then at that time the American sugar producers bitched to the Gov't about how cheaper foreign sugar was undercutting their business. The gov't responded by passing very high import taxes on foreign sugar, as well as import quotas. The price of sugar spiked nearly overnight and by the early 80's it all switched to HFCS because it doesn't have a silly tax on it.

>>5434814
There's nothing "free wheeling capitalism" about quotas and duties. In fact, it's the opposite. The LACK of a true free market is why we're stuck with HFCS.

[Anonymous No.5434851]

>>5434805

I don't even eat at restaurants but this is such a big annoying issue that i want people to stop having wars over it.

i always feel like its unfair how waiters and other tippable-type jobs get paid, just because the boss thinks that these poor wait staff get enough and should earn the rest from people who just wanted to eat a sandwich, and are not expecting to give up even more money than the price of the food.

what a retarded paradoxical system.

waiters should get paid FULL wages, not a penny and "earn the rest if your so good" they are already working a job, they should get paid for it.

as for the people eating at a restaurant, they shouldn't have to worry about paying for anything other than the price of food, people go to restaurants to sit down and relax and pay the restaurant to prepare and cook the food and bring it to them, and they already pay much more than it would have costed them to buy all the ingredients and make it themselves at home, so for the pressure of needing to pay some poor kid tips to be there, it kind of screws everyone over, the waiter, the customer, etc.

imagine if you could just walk in, sit down, pay for your meal, eat it, go home.

imagine if you could go to work, get paid for working, and go home.


supposedly a study was done (I forget by who, you can probably find it on Google somewhere) which showed that if waiters and waitresses wages were changed to minimum wage that food prices at restaurants would go up by about ten cents at most. At restaurants the smallest expense which owners pay is the wages of their staff, and they are already so low that it won't make much difference. Additionally, there's this thing called balancing your budget and an owner could simply allocate a little money from one area and use it for wages, which would result in little or no change of food prices. continuing-

[Anonymous No.5435223]

>>5435217
continued-

The whole "your food will become super expensive!" argument is perpetuated by the greedy chain-restaurants who want to get away with paying their staff next to nothing. They want customers to pay staff wages instead (which you do in the form of tips) and they have fixed the minimum wage for waiters and waitresses at a very low price.


"Former server here, you can get screwed. I would much rather work for tips than work for minimum wage and receive no tips" what if tips were not mandatory (as they seem to be) anymore, and optionally you could tip if you really felt a waiting employee did a really great job?

-finished.

waiters make far more with tips than they ever would if they were paid hourly

[Anonymous No.5435284]

>>5435223
>The whole "your food will become super expensive!" argument is perpetuated by the greedy chain-restaurants who want to get away with paying their staff next to nothing.

It's also from people who know how payroll taxes work. Under the US's current tax laws, it is cheaper for all involved to tip the waiter than it is to pay them a higher wage, assuming they take home identical pay after taxes are considered.

Is it as costly as some of the fast food companies seem to think? No. But simple mathematics makes it clear that tipping saves money as opposed to wages.

This theory, while mathematically right, would be terrible for the restaurant industry and the customer service experience in a restaurant in general. Being a waiter is an awful job, the reason most people do it is because they can make a decent wage while only having to work 18-30 hours a week. If they got paid the same as a McDonalds employee the turnover rate would be even bigger than it already is. Constantly having to train people + Time wasted interviewing people + Inefficiency of new employees = Lost money. Not to mention the fact that their sole motivation for not being a dickhead is based on how badly they want to keep their job you can expect Walmart levels of "fuck you and your problems dickhead" attitude.

And good luck getting a timely refill on your preferred beverage.

Pepsi.

I prefer Diet Coke, not out of some health choice or whatever but because I like the taste more and I hate the sugary residue that regular Coke leaves. Pepsi seems worse, but I don't really care.

It would be stupid to pay it out of your own pocket which is why no owner would.

The only way a restaurant makes money is by selling food so if cost goes up in any way you better believe the price for the customer is going to go up. Its not like restaurants have a high overall profit margin to begin with
