Overseas they pay wait staff an appropriate wage and people do not tip. Prices are not doubled and restaurants are plenty full. Your argument to the contrary is nonsense.

Well probably because they are socialist countries and the government subsidizes, we are Capitalists here and that system would not work here.

I live in Germany nearly 20 years ago and their system has ALWAYS been this way. There's no baseline with a tip-based system to say prices have "doubled" against. You simply cannot say "their prices haven't doubled".

American economic history suggests that us changing from a tip-based system to a tipless system would lead to increases restaurant prices pretty much across the board.

Of course, the cop out argument. The simple fact is, if everybody in my market employed a tip-less model, ALL places would be more expensive and therefore we would eventually run out of cost-effective places to eat out.

At that point, it becomes my choice to stay home and eat, right? Well that was the ORIGINAL POINT OF THE THREAD.

Exactly.

Bah.

The garbage you buy at the grocery store is just as bad for you, if not worse.
