Service charges; resort fees; "surcharge" add-ons: A new state law requiring price transparency is set to take effect in July. Until now, no one knew how it would apply to restaurants.
Need this nationwide. I hate having fees added on to the price of what I’m ordering.
A lot (not all) of workers in the service industry like tipping, actually. They get cash a lot of the time, which they like, and can under report on their taxes. Most people opposed to banning tipping, in my experience, are actually the people receiving the tips.
I do wonder how much that’s changed over time. As more of us use only electronic payments or credit cards, that has to reduce the opportunity for tax fraud (same with panhandlers - I literally don’t carry any cash I could give you, so now what?)

And yet many of those people are also the first to complain about having inconsistent paychecks. Funny how that works
I mean, I don’t think they’re necessarily the same people, that’s why I said not all.
The real perk of getting tips in cash is not having to visit an ATM to buy drugs from each other
I can tell you’ve worked at restaurants.
