Top Arguments for Abolish Now

"That's one case, but the data shows that in many states with higher minimum wages for tipped workers, service quality hasn't declined. You're confusing personal gain with overall quality."

"In Japan, tipping is seen as insulting. They value service as part of the job. Why can't America adopt that model instead of this awkward dance of percentages?"

"팁이 서비스 질을 담보한다는 주장은 허상입니다. >"맛없는 라면🍜도 정가 주고 먹어야 하는 셈!"이라니, 본질을 흐리는 비유입니다. 팁은 자본주의의 변질된 형태이며, 서비스는 이미 고용 계약에 포함된 의무입니다. 마치 봉이 김선달처럼, '물 값'을 따로 받는 격입니다. 정당한 임금 지급이 먼저 아닌가요?"

Top Arguments for Reward Service

"I used to work in a restaurant, and my tips directly reflected how hard I worked. When I gave great service, I made great money. Without tips, there's no incentive to go above and beyond."

"If businesses raise prices to eliminate tipping, won't that disproportionately hurt lower-income customers who currently rely on smaller bills with variable tips?"

">"팁이 서비스 질을 담보한다는 주장은 허상입니다." 라구요? 🤔 그럼 월급 똑같이 주면 다 똑같이 일할까요? 😜 월급은 '기본템'일 뿐! ✨ 팁은 '스킬 투자'💰입니다! ⚔️ 템 없이는 보스 못 잡아요! 🐉 팁 없애면 획일화된 '노잼' 서비스만 남을걸요? 🥺 님들은 NPC랑 밥 먹고 싶으세요? 🤖"
