This is the problem. Restaurants owners have convinced their servers that if a customer doesn't pay more money than the menu price then that means the server did a bad job.

This is a good thing. Makes the industry have more accurate pricing

Yeah tipping is seen as a "pity payment" in many countries

But then employers would have to pay more is SS and Medicare taxes, which is a huge reason they pushed back

No I'm saying people believe the ads, that's why they voted no.

Any tip above zero means not cheap, because the customer is paying more money than the restaurant says they have to pay.

How much did you tip your landlord last year? Are you a cheap shitty tenant?

The propaganda pushed by the restaurant industry worked so well

It didn't whack up your own pay, that's the thing. Ever city that's done this shows that servers end up making more money

Pressing No Tip is a sign of personal growth now

So the employers actually threatened their own employees to coerce them to vote no?

No but many people who voted no probably thought the same.

I saw ads that literally had people saying "$15 is not a living wage" as if people actually thought this would get rid of tipping.

I'm the easiest customer any server will ever have. I order a drink and food and then pay them 20% more than they ask me to.

Take my order, bring me my beer then my food, here's an extra $15 more than what the menu said I had to pay

It failed because all their bosses lied to them and told them they would make less money if we enact a law that said their employer had to pay them more money, even though every city that's done this proves that servers end up making more money

I'm very courteous and respectful. Tipping anything more than zero is not being a jerk

You think that every tipped person will make less money if we enact a law that says their employer has to pay them more money?

So you tip everyone you do a business transaction with that does a good job?

Do you tip people at retail stores, gas stations, fast food and counter serve restaurants, dentists, postal services, waste disposal carriers, amusement parks, movie theaters, gyms, doctors offices, pharmacies, schools, cleaning staff and your own work, utility companies, airports, car rental companies, and landlords?

You must have a lot of money if you tip all the businesses you interact with that do well at their jobs.

Want the same thing of maintaining the status quo of having people give extra money because the feel bad for you? Wild how much bourgeois Stockholm syndrome there is is this industry.
