MODERATORS
If we continue to tip as a wage subsidy, where is the motivation to make companies actually pay their workers?
I agree with you, actually. If you don't want to tip, fine, don't tip. But don't go to a restaurant and then not tip, either, because not only are you still giving the company money, you're shortchanging the actual person you want to help.
We are not short changing anyone. A tip isn't a guaranteed income from working.
Also, it's halrious that you agreed with the previous person, then instantly renegged and said the opposite and went back to he same garbage you said before.
Tipping culture is wrong. Never tip, stop begging.
I'm not contradicting myself. All of my points can coexist.
You're correct, a tip is not guaranteed income, that's the entire problem. I don't understand why what I'm saying is so hard to understand. The company will only make up for lost tips for a waiter for so long before they're fired. Continuing to go out to eat and then not tipping changes nothing, it just makes the waitstaff's lives harder.
If everyone today stopped tipping, do you think companies would suddenly begin to pay more? I'd wager that wage increases start with the waiting staff, and ends there. Why are you pushing the responsibility onto the customer?
They won't... And this is the point... Whether customers tip or don't doesn't matter. If we all collectively stopped tipping wait staff would still be the ones hit. It takes the wait staff collectively quitting/protesting to cause restaurants to change their ways... Or management of those restaurants. The consumer in this case means nothing.
I'm not pushing the responsibility anywhere. If anything, I think it's the government's responsibility to take the tipping loophole out of minimum wage laws.
