Where did I say they should be paid less??? Personally, no, I would not work at McDonald’s for $13/hr. But that’s more or less current rate set by the market. Either one of two things happen with raising wages for unskilled labor. 1)There’s a big push for automation and machines start to replace people 2)The business goes under. This is why it’s extremely important to gain other skills in this market, especially since we have tons and tons of information to learn at our fingertips.

God I hate this train of thought. First, no jobs are paying minimum wage right now and a lot of fast food jobs are paying $13-15/hr. Second, work ethic among Gen Z is just bad across the board, regardless of pay. And giving lower effort regardless of pay builds bad habits for the future.
I’ve been to three different countries in the past year. All paid less than the US for service jobs and yet the service was so much better there. In all honesty, Americans are just lazier and more entitled than people from other countries.

>> Because that’s the industry standard? Servers make around $2 an hour so the expectation is that patrons tip. I wish that wasn’t the case and that business owners pay a reasonable wage, but that’s not what’s going on.
I mean this thread is talking about tips for carry out. In what world does someone earn a tip simply for putting food in bag? I mean why not tip the grocery store worker who bags your food? Why not tip the person at Macy’s who takes the tags off and puts your clothes in the bag? What about the person who looks up parts to your car at autozone? When should it stop? And for the record I usually tip $1 when I get takeout but I hate how it’s the norm now.
One of my favorite things about traveling abroad is the dining experience. I can sit at a table by myself enjoying a meal and coffee for two hours and nobody cares because tipping culture doesn’t exist everywhere else like here. It makes the experience bad by viewing your time at a table or party size as a $ sign, rather than a place to enjoy a nice meal peacefully.

Isn’t that what wages are for? Why should I subsidize a restaurant owner for not paying their employees?
