What does covering more employees over the same period mean? I don't follow. Also, you're assuming that customers' salaries increased with COL and inflation. They haven't. These policies just squeeze value out of customers. Of course they're offended

So tips used to just go to the worker who got them. But now they go to nearly everyone at the restaurant. Your server has to tip out quite a few other people.

And yeah we know the rising prices are squeezing value of customers, but those prices are largely disconnected from the staff's wages. Which is why the percentage has to go up.

[–] Zibitee@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, rising prices of menu items increases tips as a proportion. If menu prices stayed the same and you want larger tip %, then sure. But not both. That's just greedy

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well Cost of living going up plus spreading that money out means they still needed the larger percentage.

That's no excuse. Scummy practices are scummy

[–] _tezz@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is this not even worse double-dipping? Why would a server who makes $3/hr be expected to tip out the rest of the restaurant? That's the point of being able to pay them $3/hr no?

Wages being disconnected from company earnings is an even bigger reason for us to insist the percentage NOT go up...

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Because the restaurant owner can enforce it legally and now they don't have to pay the cooks/host/bartender as much anymore.
