What functionally changed FOR YOU, the customer? As I said the employee sees a change, people can no longer stiff them, great.
But aside from math and the ability to choose to be an asshole, what changes for the customer?
Sure, change the system. But as it stands now, this is the system, and unless you’re able to time machine back to before the world cup visitors got here in time to change it, then this is the system you’re visiting and you need to adapt. Just as I would need to adapt to your culture if I went wherever you live or I’d be the asshole, same goes here.
Some people here are complaining about that as well, they say it has to be on the menu price, some “would rather it be on the menu price, but that is better.”
If I had my guess it’s because “The EU™” doesn’t have an entirely homogenous opinion on tipping themselves, closer in opinion to each other though they may be. Point is though some consider that surcharge “not fixed.”
I’m also wondering if they’re only adding the surcharge for Euros which would be so funny. In any case the second you guys leave that goes back to normal, you’ve “fixed” nothing.
The worker decides nothing. They quit and the boss hires another ex convict with a drug problem, if they get lucky they’ll break out but more likely the quitter will end up at another restaurant hoping there’s no Europeans. Your idealism is commendable, but naïve.
Though you’re not entirely wrong, covid killed off a lot of small restaurants who couldn’t afford to stay open and were pretty much the last bastion of “local businesses” in the country. Pretty sad imo, I’ve long been a “shop local” proponent myself. Though youshould be happy about that because those chains mostly offer “a living wage” (debatable, especially in this economy, but they don’t rely on tips). So there you go, go eat there instead of the relatively few local spots that did survive but rely on tips, why do you have to go to the tipping spots if you’re so against them? Have a backbone and sacrifice for your ideals.
Yes, by all means, stay out of the place if you can’t respect how it works and have to shit on the poor worker to feel morally superior, like an absolute smeghead.
