      If you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford to eat out or order delivery. Just because the tip system is a terrible system doesn’t mean you have an excuse to fuck over the victims of it.

      Until there’s a national strike on tipping that could lead thousands of tip reliant workers to quit (like the writers strike), be a decent person and have some sympathy. Instead of eating out and not tipping, don’t eat out. The restaurant gets the same amount of money whether you tip or not, I guarantee they don’t give a shit.

        I see what you mean, but I’m not the one fucking over the employees.

        On the short term you are right, but as long as customers keeps tipping, the system works well enough for nothing to change.

        The more people stops tipping, the closer we get to change.

        And I’m sorry that the change will hurt the employees, but it’s not my battle. And tipping does not support the employees battle, just this days income.

        Tell me another way I can support their battle, and I’ll listen.

        (I tip when the employees seems to rely on it, or if I feel extraordinarily well serviced.)
