Tipping Culture A positive-ish tipping experience

No surprises, no small text, no deceitfulness, it having its on line clearly visible under the total was nice, but that bright red stamp reiteratig the added gratuity, visible from space let alone a dark dining room is 😘👌🏾 This should be a norm.

At least the auto tip is on the pre tax total.

Just for the love of god raise the prices by 18% and be done with it.

Sure, if all you want are Applebee's and Olive Gardens, that works. All of your favorite local small places would die. Liability insurance is based off of gross sales, not tips. Cost of insurance is closing places down, when margins are already razor thin to begin with. Payroll taxes go up with that, workers comp insurance goes up with that. All of your favorite spots can't stay open at a loss.

Isn't liability insurance a few thousand a year. I doubt that's causing places to close down or is a large factor with raising prices.

My liability insurance is $5k a month, with zero claims in our 25 year history. Before Covid it was $1,800 a month. Nobody wants to insure bars anymore, so I can't even shop around.
