Ok, you raise the price from $9.99 to $11.98 and no tips.
Cool. And?
What has functionally changed other than you having to do math?
And does this apply to sales tax, or does it only apply for tips? Why are you not also complaining that sales tax (dependant on state but for convo’s sake lets say 10%) isn’t included on the menu price as well? The government can require math but not your server? Seems arbitrary imo.
The heart of the matter is that the only one screwed by not tipping is the poor server, the boss gets his from the menu price so you’re still helping perpetuate the system if you patronize those establishments regardless of tipping or not, but really, other than making you pull out your phone calc what is the physical difference between paying “$9.99+20%” and “$11.98,” if not “just doing a little basic math?”
Well no, my argument is that whether the 20% is included in the bill or you have to do math you’re still paying the same price so what is the actual functional difference besides
A) making you do math
And
B) giving you the choice to be a prick for a 20% discount at the worker’s expense.
I’ve so far not heard any other differences but I have heard a lot of excuses for not ponying up that supposedly fine 20%.
And still nobody has answered why 10% for taxes not included is fine but 20% for tip not included is over the line.
It’s sounding like you’re all a bunch of selfish smegheads to me, honestly.
No u.
If you’d like to elaborate, I can too. For now that’s all the response you get.
Your original rebuttal is dumb. Raise the prices, pay employees, eliminate tipping.

Jesus man, your argument is that employers should be allowed to not fairly compensate their employees. Just shut the fuck up.
