I really hate tip culture. I shouldn't have to perform value judgements on people's careers to try to figure out if I need to pay them extra for their service. That should be their employers' responsibility.
Today, I went to a full-service car wash. I spoke to no less than five different employees that worked on or around my car. Yet, when it was done, I was apparently expected to tip the last guy I met. I don't even know what proportion of the work was his. He could have done 10% or 90% of the work. But either way, he got 100% of the tip.
Can we please just, for the love of God, raise the minimum wage and eliminate tip wage exceptions?
