    Lol, I’m sure your reasoning is really going to make a difference to the person depending on tips to make rent. And I’m sure the owner is just going to feel terrible that his server didn’t get compensated.

    Maybe you should just avoid giving your business to restaurants that exploit the tip based system? You aren’t ending tipping culture by not tipping, you’re just taking advantage of workers just as much as the owners.

      If a person doesn’t tip, their server doesn’t get tipped.

      If that same person avoids giving business to restaurants that exploit the tip based system, the same server still doesn’t get tipped.

      You’re not ending tipping culture by tipping, either. Just saying.

        the same server still doesn’t get tipped.

        They may have more time or availability for someone who does tip, plus they aren’t wasting their labour on someone.

        You’re not ending tipping culture by tipping, either. Just saying.

        Yeah, but I never claimed I was attempting to end tipping culture by wasting people’s time and effort.

        Again, why not just support businesses that don’t rely on tipping to pay their staff?

          Oh, wow. Suddenly they’re not being paid at all only because one person doesn’t tip? How does that work?

          Yeah, but I never claimed I was attempting to end tipping culture by wasting people’s time and effort.

          Not tipping wastes nobody’s time. That’s not how time works. You did say “You aren’t ending tipping culture by not tipping, you’re just taking advantage of workers just as much as the owners” which I turned around on you, though. Also, what you said here is wrong because I don’t exploit anybody’s labour by not tipping since I’m not getting paid to eat out. You understand that.

          Again, why not just support businesses that don’t rely on tipping to pay their staff?

          Why didn’t I think of that and not do it for the last 20 years? You really opened my eyes to the most obvious thing ever! I already don’t perpetuate a system that exploits workers. Maybe you should too.
