what happened for the most part is that people in many professions/jobs made so much in tips that employers adjust salaries down. supply and demand. if people can make 100.00 - 200.00 - 300.00 a night doing something, then there is no reason to pay 20.00 an hour to attract great people to do an unskilled job. an effect of this is that people are essentially working for tips and when you hire and train shitty people, you have this problem of people not quite understanding why you're not throwing 20.00 bills at them non stop.
then, because we are a planet full of lazy idiots, many start thinking they are entitled to a tip regardless of how they treat you or how the experience was.
i FUCKING HATE it when people start ranting about tips being necessary. if you don't like a job.. get a new fucking job that pays more money. THATS WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING IN LIFE... MOVING UP... not demanding that the world subsidize your stupidity, lazyness, lack of motivation and refusal to better yourself.
