Restaurants Are Adding Equity Charges to Customers Checks to Fight Oppression

What if I told you that tip would be distributed to the people making your meal, and maybe even the dishwasher and floor mopper, etc...

The price should include the cost of everyone who works at the business.

Tipping is just a way for businesses to avoid having to pay their workers and instead pass that responsibility onto the customer.

It is far from guaranteed the workers get the tips at checkout. I'm aware of a few places near me where I've been told (after asking) the workers do not even get the tips, it goes to the owner.

Personally, I only tip for table and bar service. I won't contribute to tip culture beyond that
