🚨 **"No 25% tip... no order?"** 🍽️💸
Tipping used to be a way to say **"thank you"** for great service. Lately, though, some restaurants are posting signs that make it feel more like a requirement than a choice.
Many customers aren't asking whether servers deserve fair pay—they do. The bigger question is this:
**If a 25% tip is expected from every customer, why not simply include it in the menu price or list it as a service charge?** 🤔
Being upfront about the total cost could eliminate confusion and allow customers to know exactly what they'll pay before ordering.
Where do you stand on this?
💬 **Should tipping always be optional, or is a mandatory 25% expectation fair?**
