You have a lot of trust in these owners for one... They steal from workers regularly
But even if assume they are not outright stealing.
I ain't fucking tipping back of the house. Parasites turned tipping into full blown wahe subsidies for their shiti operations and I got a problem with that.
Hence I why I tip cash. Fuck the owner. It is not my obligation to pay for his staff while having zero input on how staffing is being done.
So, any tip that doesn't go to the server is theft imho
I don't understand why the normie is so willing to accept these clown schemes
Because servers are abused so heavily they have no options to resist. They don't like the situation either but if people stop tipping then they are worried they will be poor.
Its like if you were imprisoned in my house, and I fed you home-cooked meals but put a somewhat tolerable amount of poison in each meal as well. If you complained about the poison, and I said well I guess you could just not eat at all, then you might say something like "well I don't like poison necessarily but I do need it to survive right now."
I wouldnt call you pro-poison if you said that though, just like I don't think most of these tipped workers support the structure of tipping.
I am talking about the customer here why are they so willing to accept tip sharing as in response to comment above
Peer pressure. It feels to most people that choosing not to tip is itself an action, and they are worried other people will judge them for it. Same reason people return carts at the grocery store, for the most part.
So servers and customers both just go along with it because

No, servers go along with it because they have no choice. Customers go along with it because of social pressure, and to some extent fear of retribution.
