Employers can make the menu the same price by just limiting the profits. But of course, they present that option as impossible. “It’s either a living wage or an expensive menu”, and let the peasants fight over it.
And yet this issue doesn’t exist almost anywhere else except on USA, even when meals are cheaper.
Again this isn’t what the study showed. It shows the consumer in America will largely pick the cheaper menu then if everything is the same but the staff get paid more. The consumer is perpetuating this problem.
The only way to stop low pay and the system is to ask agree to stop tipping.
You are ignoring what I said. You say people don’t like price increases. I say price increases are not necessary. You say people still don’t like price increases.
I’ll have to find it, but the study was between two different menus. One with tipping, and one with the tip already baked in so the staff for a higher salary but trying want required. The final price for each menu was the same (if you tipped).

I never said people didn’t like price increases

Customer preferred to tipping menu.
Do you happen to have said study?
