Here in Costa Rica all dine in orders are charged a manditory 10% tax that is divided by the wait staff. On top of that all staff are required to be paid a living wage that includes PTO, Pension, and Healthcare. Guess what, we don’t have bad service. Everyone is happy to serve because they are being paid well to do it.
the fact that its legal to pay waiters less than minimum wage is the most exploitative dumb shit ever
It’d be nice if they added that they pay a living wage. We had a restaurant near us that refused tips and paid a living wage. Unfortunateluy, they gave up that policy.
Class act!
I own 2 restaurants and I shut down all tips back in January. I removed the tip option from the pos devices my employees use so the only way for someone to tip is if they are feeling extra generous and want to cash tip otherwise my customers can go in and grab a bite without feeling like they are being absolutely gouged.
