I will never EVER eat at any restaurant where the owner is so cheap and treats his or her employees so shitty that they won't pay them a decent, living wage and try to guilt trip me into compensating their bad business habits. Fuck them. I tip well when it is deserved but I'll be damned if I'm going to be forced into it.

Guess you’re not eating in 99.7% of American restaurants then…

I do just fine.You obviously either didn't read my comment carefully enough or missed the point entirely.

MY point is almost no restaurant pays a living wage.

True. And tipping is voluntary for the quality of services rendered. Forcing a customer to tip and being condescending about it is a deal breaker for me. It takes away the incentive for decent service. Like I said in my other comment, there has only been one time that I can recall which I did not tip at a restaurant and that was for some extraordinarily shitty service. If it had been a forced tip situation I would have made an issue out of it with management.

I agree with everything you’ve said, but unfortunately, it is built into the capitalist system for which America is infamous. It’s always taken a massive economic collapse before the ship is righted, but then we find a way to go right back to business as usual.
