tipping should be illegal because it leads to underpaid workers. but until tipping becomes illegal, you are a fucking asshole if you don’t tip. you’re not sticking it to the man, you’re just shitting on a minimum wage worker because m-muh principles. grow up or move to a country where they don’t tip

I hate that argument though. "You shouldn't enjoy things because you should pay more than the advertised, because that's just how things are". Change doesn't happen unless change happens. Basically, if you want tipping culture to change, you actually have to start changing tipping culture.

And you think the best way to do that is by stopping waitresses from being able to feed their kids? Because that's the only thing that will happen if you don't tip

Yes? I'm not the one underpaying waiters. The boss is. Waiters have to unionise and confront their boss directly as a collective.

That way, even if the boss tries to fire one, they will all walk out. Have fun, boss, for underpaying your workers.
