Why American Tipping Culture Is Broken (yewtu.be)

We dug into how American tipping culture got so broken, and the fight to fix it.

It turns out that your tips are subsidizing the payrolls of multi-billion dollar chains, while they pay their workers under minimum wage.

It's a system rooted in slavery, and pushed by a wealthy restaurant owners onto the rest of us.

But there's a growing movement to change it.

How about just paying food service workers a living wage, so that tipping isn't critical for basic survival?
