Why No Tipping? Optimism believes businesses should be responsible for their workers' wages, not the whim of the customer. Employees deserve a living wage they can count on, so wages start at $20/hour, and we pay 100 % of our employees' health care, among other benefits like three weeks of vacation and one month of paid parental leave. But we have other reasons: Tipping often means that the people who serve products end up making more than the ones who create them, and we think that disparity is wrong. Tipping has a classist, racist history. Employers didn't like having to pay wages to newly-freed African-Americans, so tipping became their only source of income. Tipping is super sexist: 70% of all tipped workers are women, who are forced to live on tips and compelled to tolerate inappropriate behavior to make a living. Tipping feels awkward and compulsory. Doing math when the bill arrives is a pain. Tips do not fix poor service. Tell us if you have a problem, don't punish someone's salary. Tips do not ensure good service, studies have shown. Do you tip your doctor or banker? Our people are not motivated by money to do their job well, they simply take pride in their work. Believing a tip ensures better service is dehumanizing. Ick.
