00:00Tipping is expected in the United States, but should the tip just be included in the cost of dining out?
00:07Restaurant owner Devin Sanner spoke to HuffPost and doesn't think tips are going anywhere.
00:13It has been tried before by restaurateur Danny Masterson, and Sanner said of the attempt,
00:19It seems the American dining public is not ready to embrace the upfront, service-inclusive model of pricing.
00:26Some restaurants still pay waitstaff sub-minimum wage of $2.13 per hour, so they depend on the tips for
00:36a living wage.
00:38Tipping is just good manners, but better pay is preferable.
00:42Lizzie Post told CNBC,
00:44Ultimately, I'd love to see workers paid more livable wages.
00:49Until then, tipping should not be optional.
