Suggested Daily Topic
To make things more interesting I'm going add a suggested daily topic. To perk up discussion between Steemians. As always you are free to comment whatever you like to enter. You do not have to follow this suggestion.
The daily topic for today is:
Should Restaurants Do Away With Tipping?
Tipping is supposed to be for good service. However, in America it has become custom even if service isn't very good. It is a bit painful to me to leave 15 - 20% tip for fair to even borderline bad service. So should this custom be done away with and waiters get paid fair wages? Or continue with the status quo?
In case you don't know who I am here is my intro post from way back:
BunnyPuncher Don’t worry your bunnies are “fairly” safe!
Story of an honest Steemian. Honesty in today's world it still exists!!
Screw tips, pay them a market wage.

As a food courier a large percentage of my income from work comes from tips, now that is for the delivery service alone. Typically the delivery fee just covers estimated travel expenses and the tip at the end of the night is my actual income.
Now if I screw up I don’t expect a tip, if I am rude or if I take too long I do not expect a tip. Basically agree with you it should be based on service and not something that is expected and I would love for my wages to be increased so I did not have to rely on the tip for my income at the end of the night!

Yes. The simplest thing to do is to add a service charge and show the rate on the menu. This will reduce waiters' income volatility. It will also give waitresses more leverage to deal with sexually harassing customers.

In some countries, there are now many restaurants forbidding tip-giving to waiters. This is because the tip given when accumulated sometimes even greater than the salary of employees. Of course this causes social jealousy against fellow servants.

It depends on how you look at it, the tips are at the same time it provides the service and I do not have to be obligatory, if you lend me a good service, I decide how much I give you and already., Not that of a percentage that in the end is not given to who provides the service that the waiter is the one who gives the face to give you the attention.

Yes, Tipping is supposed to be paid for good service.
There should not be a custom to pay a tip even after a bad service.
it's a customer's will and wishes to tip to services that they received from waiter and he( waiter) satisfies the customer.

This is one of good contest to support newbie on Steemit platform.
And everyone wants to earn some more points to grow on this platform.
My past experience said that there are two types of users on this platform, one of them who are here since past 1-2 years and they know most of things about Steemit rules and regulations.
And they're doing good on the other hand newbies have not much knowledge about Steemit and they are struggling to improve.
And such give away really help them to grow.

Tipping is part of a waiter/waitress' salary at many restaurants. It is bad to have to leave a tip for someone who is rude or even mean. I believe there should be (I hate to sound like a joke) a survey with an advice box to explain what you didn't like about the service. At least this way you would be leaving a "tip."

Here in germany, tipping is absolutely optional, but we still do it in case we either received good service or for the sake of convenience. If you have 17.47€ on your bill, just handing out 20 is much simpler than one of the parties having to look for money.
One thing I would like to mention here is that we do have some kind of "tipping system" if you so will in grocery stores. If you are about to pay, you can say "Round it up, please". Doing so will round up the amount of money you have to pay to an even number, usually just a couple cents. This money will then be used for charitable causes, which is a very cool thing to do if you think about it.
To finish this up, I remember having watched a hilarious YT Video on the topic of tipping, I highly suggest giving it a go.

In my country Venezuela the tips are not received by the restaurant, they are received by the innkeeper or as you call them, waiters. If the question was related in my country, then I would say that it is not worth getting rid of the tips because those are a great help for the complement of the salary of the innkeeper or waiter. In my country Venezuela the restaurant receives 10% if you consume internally in the restaurant, if you ask for the food to go, do not charge that 10%

In a legal manner, a mandatory service charge is not considered a gratuity or gratuity. Often, restaurants add these types of charges to large group bills, or when they host contracted events. In most states, this money belongs to the owner of the restaurant and is subject to sales taxes, although the owner in question can distribute it among the waiters and waiters in order to fulfill their obligations with respect to to the minimum wage. The state of Michigan has a law introduced in 2002 that requires restaurants to establish clearly when mandatory service charges are shared among employees, and when they are retained by the restaurant owner; however, there are no current laws that require restaurants to disclose this circumstance.

I think restaurants should not do away with tipping but they shouldn't fix the tip %. We should be able to tip any amount we are comfortable with and what the service deserves. And if we can tip directly the server, that would be much better because then, the server would be motivated to do continue or do better in his job.

I think tipping is good, since it motivates the worker to do their best. Also most restaurant waiters and waitress are earning the lowest income where tipping really does make a difference. In my country (Germany), we don't have to tip by law (which is common in some countries). Still most people do the tipping, when they are satisfied with the service, because it is kinda polite to do so.

Yes they should do away with tipping, it is a ridiculous system. I am not sure why it even exists, and in some parts of the world it is practically mandatory. As a person who enjoys going out to eat, factoring in a 20% tip makes it too expensive, so we don't go.

Unfortunately employers don't pay fair salaries, especially if there is no minimum wage regulation. And in lands with regulation employees usually choose illegal employment to reduce their costs. Either way it ends up reducing the salaries to an amount that the employees cannot live on. Employers use tips as an excuse to further lower the salary. That is essentially why we have tips. Not really to encourage good service but because of the greed of employers.
