Went to a great pizzeria.
Ordered an expensive drink.

Feels luxurious.
They directly asked me for a tip.
Fuck them, I am never going there again. Hope the 10kč was worth losing a customer.

As a waiter, tipping is crucial because we get paid less because of tips. Some days are great and some days are bad. I don’t like the tipping system personally. But the lower salary helps small restaurants reduce costs too.
The restaurant industry is hard as balls to get into. Razor thin margins, constantly expiring inventory, all the health and safety regulations, ect.

If anything, the tipping system creates a barrier to entry. Either pay shit and rely on tips to keep your doors open, or get in bed with banks to get enough financing to grow your restaurant and pay employees what they are worth...

Yeah good points . I just hate when I bust my ass and then don’t get tips. All that effort and no reward. My wife owns her own restaurant and I help out sometimes and yeah, the margins are razor thin
