"They would prefer instead an increase in the basic salary of restaurant employees." Crazy how indoctrinated the Swiss are
Mandatory tipping is baloney. I feel like there's a word for when you charge a required percentage on a transaction, but I'm taxing myself trying to think of it

I don't get why restaurateurs think they're special and don't need to pay their employees a living wage.
- Because laws don't make them pay a living wage.
Americans and their obsession with tiping will never cease to be amazing. The swiss are right.
- 100% companies should pay staff a living wage. Tipping is enabling them to take advantage of staff.
- Americans don't want mandatory tipping, but it's so integrated into the system that the only way to avoid it is to not eat out.
  
  So don't.
  
  You have a kitchen don't you? Let that industry evolve or die.
that's you Europe for ya
