    I think their point is being missed.

    In the USA at least in restaurants most servers work for tips. That’s 99.99% of their pay.

    They’re saying that unfortunately because of a tipping culture you’re taking part in exploiting the worker unless you tip.

    Businesses now adding tipping to POS for other stuff is their attempt to shift responsibility for paying their worker into you.

    I think the dude you’re replying to is mixing their messages some.

      Thanks for the clarification. I sometimes get tunnel vision and forget people live in places with different laws and regulations. Yes, I’m specifically talking about US states where it’s legal to pay a waiter $2.13 an hour because tips make up the rest of federal minimum wage.
