> However, even if a tipped worker provides excellent service, studies have shown that certain biases can affect tipping, especially against women and women of color. Tipping creates a dining system where people of color, elders, women, and those of foreign descent get worse service.

Because those groups typically tip less or not at all. Although I never found that to be true with women. And “people of color” in the article really means black people. Asians and Hispanics seem to tip normally in my experience.

And for those thinking “omg how racist” — you clearly never worked in the restaurant business in the United States before.

Here is an interesting thread about black people and tipping: https://www.reddit.com/r/Serverlife/s/MGkkDmZgYq

One of the linked studies has the following (emphasis mine):

> Server race has also been shown to affect tipping. Black cab drivers receive smaller tips on average than do white cab drivers ... This is true regardless of the race of the tipper – both black and white tippers give white drivers larger tips than black drivers

That's about cab drivers but I don't see why the case would be very different in restaurants.

i wouldn’t say this reddit thread clearly makes the point you think it does

You sure you want to post your racist generalizations on a public forum with your real name attached to it?
