Tipping is a totally made-up metric, which is why restaurant workers should be paid the same as fast food restaurant workers. Thoughts?

>My boss doesn't make up rules to avoid paying.

Are you okay with the fact that this is a reality in the service industry? If your boss was able to and did make up rules to avoid paying, do you think it's right for your business' clients to cough up your salary? What do you think will stop such bosses from abusing their workers?

Until everyone just gets over the "awkwardness" of having to tip/over-tip, this practice will only get more popular and worse. I'll state it plainly: if you are someone who over-tips out of guilt, you are part of the problem and you have no right to complain. If you're tired of it, then stop feeding it; insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
