Why do some people think *gratuities* should always be paid?

What are your thoughts on how legislation could structure “mandatory gratuity” differently — maybe tier-adjusted rates, reserve funds, or capped liability depending on employer size?

I don't want to see any legislation that forces me to tip.
It's my money.
I want it to be my choice.

I really don't care how they do things in UAE - or anywhere else.

I think people should be properly paid, and shouldn't be reliant on tips.

The situation in UAE or anywhere else is irrelevant to the situation in the UK and this is a UK site.

So do I.
But that's down to the employer (and the government who set the NMW).
It shouldn't be down to a customer who expects to pay £xx.xx for a dish in a restaurant, not £xx.xx + x%.

I agree that what happens in UAE or elsewhere is irrelevant.
That's why I said I didn't care about it.
