Going anyway and just not tipping is also a completely acceptable and legally protected option. Sort of like saying 'no thank you' to the grocery store check out person asking for charity donations or if you would like to sign up for the store credit card.
Again, it's optional. So people can also say 'yes' if they want and that's cool too I guess. Although tipping is inherently harmful to the server's baseline wage which is a bit problematic, if people want to tip they can and no one is stopping them. And I won't give them shit about it unless they specifically inquire about it. Since the whole thing is 'optional' after all I let them make their own decisions and if tipping gives them a nice release of serotonin or dopamine or something that makes them feel better, who am I to take that from them.
Just don’t eat out if you don’t want to tip. Tipping culture is fucked but servers are just as victimized as customers.
No thank you.
It's legal, but not tipping at a restaurant is cheap. It's also legal for them to ban you from the restaurant, which will probably happen if you give them a diatribe against tipping.
If you actually believe this then they've already got to you. This is Stockholm Syndrome, or the Sunk Cost Fallacy, or good old peer pressure.
While they could definitely ban me and I'd have no problem with that at all, they won't... because the owners have no incentive to ban me. They make the exact same amount from me whether I tip or not.
I guess if someone went on a big rant that disturbed other customers and caused a loss of sales they may ban them. But otherwise, just quietly playing your bill and leaving, no...not getting banned lol.
