if u are in :amerikkka: and u have the means please tip people whenever and wherever you can, if leaving a tip is an option it is likely because the person you're interacting with is being crushed under pitiful wages and astronomical expenses

Jesus, there's a lot of hate for workers in this thread... 😬

 


Edit: I understand why employers do this, but the fact is they DO do it, and denying tips isn't going to make employers pay their workers more money. They only understand money, not sympathy, and all you're doing is taking away the employees' money, not theirs. If it's not hurting them, they're not going to raise wages because they simply don't care.

So while one stands there refusing to tip out of a (not entirely incorrect) philosophical viewpoint, those workers reliant on tips will be starving because without said tips they can't afford rent let alone food.

In other words, I agree with the general logic behind the conclusion but not the specific logic.

 

TL;DR:

Making the employers pay the employees more money? Great!

Attempting to do it by hurting the employees but not the employer? Not so great!
