Letter: Here's a tip for businesses: You should pay your workers

We tip the dealer. We tip the waitress. We tip the valet parker. We tip the doorman. We tip the change girl.

We tip the change redeemer. We tip the person who fills the machines. We tip the room cleaner. We tip the cab driver. We tip the baggage person. We tip the bartender.

I say stop tipping. Make the businesses who hire these people pay them a living wage or get along without them.

J.E. O'Meara
