I'm not sure what isn't getting across here.

Customers subsidize wages with tipping. The amount is ultimately arbitrary and allows business owners to avoid costs.

The actual cost of the wages is not arbitrary and should be put up by the business first.

You're wrong. Is that clear enough?

Great argument.

Better than yours. The wordiness don't make it true.

Show me on the doll where the free market hurt you.

I think you're confused, I'm not the one complaining.

Let's see what Lemmy thinks.

I don't think a lot of Lemmy understands it doesn't matter how you are subsidizing the wages, you're doing it regardless. Like this clown who thinks food will be cheaper if more cash goes through the owner to the waiter instead of straight to the waiter. Regardless of system the customer is paying for everything, not the owner, unless of course his business is failing. Imagine the entitlement required to desire everyone change their model to make things cheaper for you, at a business that is completely a luxury. You could simply learn to cook instead of whining about tipping.

Well I guess the whole restaurant industry doesn't need to exist then.

Reductio ad absurdum.

I literally said it's a (unnecessary) luxury so who is being absurd? You? Yes.
