If we don’t tip, where is the motivation to make companies actually pay their workers?
Employees who won't be able to make a living will go elsewhere. it's not easy and instant, but eventually if a restaraunt can't staff itself, it will collapse.
We should absolutely not be subsidizing restaraunt owners who are only keeping a float by paying low wages. if they can't afford to properly pay their staff, they don't deserve to operate.
Then why not skip the step of customers choosing to tip at all? Why wouldn't wait staff just protest/quit to get better wages? Wait staff collective bargaining is > than consumers collective bargaining simply because it's a smaller population that's easier to get together under a shared premise. The reality is that nearly every waiter/waitress I've talked to about it PREFER the current tip structure. They make more money.
Years ago when I first started out working, I also preferred it. I could walk home with a pocket full of cash well above minimum wage if the night was good.
