The European model, where the tip is built into the price, and the prices 12% higher as a result. Your contention doesn't make sense otherwise. The people who would actually get the tip aren't the ones who have any power to implement the programs. Always assuming the corps aren't just stealing the tips, which would be actionable. Also, I suspect you'll bitch even harder when tipping is gone completely and you realize you've killed the donkey thinking it was a dragon. |

Prices were, in London private bistro/resturants, the same price as my Long Island prices. My Ling Island prices would be 20% higher due to tipping. The expectations were different. No waitresses. You dropped your order at the bar and a busses would bring it out. Needed a drink? Walk to the bar. So I save 20% or more by just walking to the bar for my order and drinks.

Edit: On second thought I retract that statement. Percentage based tipping is stupid - it takes the same effort to bring me a $5 ($10?!) hamburger as it does to bring me a $60 steak. The way I am treated as a customer should be the same for both as well. A fixed amount makes more sense than a percentage based amount, and that amount should be based on how far above and beyond the normal call of duty the staff went in serving me. If all they did was do their job, no tip is required. In any event, let's not derail the meme thread. Someone start a tipping thread - that's never been done! |
