Reply to comment by DestraD in [OC] Do people tip in restaurants in Poland? by scheisskopf53

dead wrong. that’s how it’s framed. you tip so managers don’t have to pay their staff that gets paid under minimum wage. it’s a terrible manipulative practice that needs to end, America and elsewhere

Maybe. But managers get paid shit. Most managers are lucky to get more than $25/hr. With even keeping 10% tips (bad tips minus tipouts), servers only need to sell $250 in sales per hour to make that without any base pay.

Servers would make much less money if "the owners paid them". It would become a job someone would only do in absolute desperation rather than by choice. Max pay most places (if tips were eliminated) would be $12/hr.

Tips are just commission set by the customer.
