If you're going to be a cheapskate and not tip, sure.

...

People don't understand sarcasm I guess. I mean, the guy I was responding to was ordering a Venti Wave, can't understand a joke?

As someone from a country where hospitality workers are paid appropriately by law, is there a benefit to continue supporting the tipping culture? From afar, seems like a win-win for owners. Patrons pay more to scrape from, workers cost less. Is that something you support so much you put your money into it voluntarily or am I missing something?

Every time I consider not tipping I just feel bad cause I know the workers are going to suffer for as long as it takes to make the restaurant or whatever to start paying properly.

But all the new places that now have a tip option but has never been customary to tip in the past can fuck off, don’t want to normalize that shit.

it's really hard to not tip knowing they need that tip but also hard to enable shitty practices. I think the best play is to not buy things from places that pay employees through tips. If you tip or not, the business doesn't fucking care but if you don't buy at all and encourage others to not buy it makes them pretend to care.
