You don't tip because you're tight and selfish. Stop justifying it.

A while a ago there was a restaurant in BC that had a no tip policy. They did exactly what you propose, raise the prices of food to give workers a living wage ($20). They had to abandon the policy because they were going bankrupt. What may work in theory may not work in the real world. How can you compete when you are charging $26 a dish and your competitor is charging way less than that for a similar dish? Unless you had a superior product, the consumer is going for the lower price alternative.foreigncontent wrote: ↑ agree, tax and tip should be included in the price. It takes a while to get use to it, because of the sticker price impact, the $20 menu item is now $26.
as for the discussion on why you would pay more tip on a more expensive menu item, this is all related to issue of any charge that tries to translate a fixed cost into a % cost.
if you go back to an example with simplistic $10 and $20 menu item restaurant, and equal amounts of orders, tip being wait salary, translating it into fixed cost you now have menu price of
$12.25 and $22.25.
but why stop there. most overhead allocation also ends up at % of cost, so bigger purchase means i pay more of the cost of the table.
