Goes both ways. Don't like it if a person decides not to tip, which is well within their rights? Get a different job rather than continuing to support an industry that's exploiting your labor even more than most do.
Nah, you're the cheepo who doesn't wanna pay the real price for the service they're getting.
People like you are why "but it'll raise prices!" is viewed as a main argument against living wages.
Fuckin' cheapskate you are, when you catch something when the barista you short changed spits in your drink, remember how bravely and nobly you carried the cross of "fuck you gimme a free burger."
Dude. Get help.
If you were trying to convince me that tipping is trash culture for petty, entitled dipshits, you've succeeded
Nah, the employers are the cheapos who want the customers to pay their employees' wages. If an employee is such a raging asshole that they'd spit in a customer's drink, they most certainly don't deserve any kind of tip and at that point it's extortion. "That's a nice drink you have there...be a shame if someone spit in it."
