Re: Brilliant new Tax policy proposed by Trump
IMHO there should not be a tip tax. And for what its worth the auto-tipping for CC's should be boycotted. That is the 15, 20 and 30% buttons one can select when paying at the counter. That stupid.
Tipping is a gratuity for service rendered. Like everything else its become an entitlement for business. Covid was an economic disaster. Folks stepped up to help service personnel. Thats over now.

Re: Brilliant new Tax policy proposed by Trump
True. I am so tired of being asked to tip. Holy shit, here in Washington minimum wage is over $16.28 per hour. I didn't get that kind of money until I'd been in my field for over 8 years. Now fucking 16 year olds with ZERO work experience are getting it......Mel Bradford wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2024 8:44 pmIMHO there should not be a tip tax.

Then the business is asking for tips too.
No, I also don't tip waiters very much either. They are also getting the Washington Minimum wage, and in most cases more. The way I see it, if they are getting:
$17 per hour
6 tables an hour with a $5.00 tip each.
That would be $47 per hour.

It took my out of state son to set me straight. Out for breakfast and I pushed the tip button at the register. He pulled me aside explained the situation. "They didn't do anything to earn that tip" "Don't let them guilt trip you pops".
A fool and his money.....
I like your mathematical approach WW

Re: Brilliant new Tax policy proposed by Trump
I also have heartburn over the whole 15% of the total bill.....
Am I getting service if my wife and I get the lobster rather than the bowls of mack and cheese?
One is $130 (including drinks) and the other is $20 (including drinks).
That would be $20 verses $3.
It's all a scam.

Re: Brilliant new Tax policy proposed by Trump
The 'tips' thing is hysterical and out of control, in my opinion. There are tip jars everywhere.
This might sound harsh but if your job requires tip money to make it feasible, then find a new job. One that doesn't require tips.
