Golly, I guess we'll just keep subsidizing the fucking restaurant owner instead of doing anything.
The owners do not give half a shit if you tip their workers or not. They get their tipout regardless.
You can actually help by tackling tipping culture on a city/province/state level. You're not doing anything by stiffing your server besides saving yourself money and costing your server. If you don't go out to restaurants then whether your tip or not is no one's concern.
Otherwise you're still rewarding tipping culture by patronising venues that pay their workers a sub-livable wage.
Your options are tip well, or don't eat out. It absolutely sucks that owners are making customers subsidize their employees' wages, but by receiving the service you are expected to pay for the service. Tipping culture does suck. But it helps no one to tip poorly.
It helps me and erodes tipping culture as a whole. I'm curious how you think we'll ever get past tipping culture without one of the first steps being "stop tipping for everything".
And I absolutely do pay for the service. I pay the listed price of what I'm purchasing. That should be all that's "expected". You have been brainwashed into thinking that somehow shouldn't include the cost of service. Absolutely insane.
