Danny Meyer jumped on a movement before the pandemic to end tipping. Now he's abandoning that movement but Chef Amanda Cohen thinks that's a bad move. Tipping is based on all the things we try to get rid of in other businesses; racism, sexism, classism, ageism, ableism, and so on. Restaurant workers know servers get paid more than anyone else even if that pay in unstable and you get more money if your "attractive." All the benefits of getting rid of tipping are there and all the ugliness behind tipping, so why are we still tipping? Especially now when the pandemic has given the food industry a moment to stop, reflect, and change.
