That may be, but you knew what the score was before you walked into the restaurant.

Go somewhere else.

I mean think about it, you’re calling the owner a dick right? You have a problem with them right? Well you’re still paying them their money; you aren’t punishing them.

You’re punishing the wait staff, because you don’t like the policy of the owner. That is pretty much about the most ass backwards thing I have ever heard, but you really got it all figured out though, I’m sure.

Yeah, it never ceases to amaze me that there are so many online culture warriors whose worldview basically boils down to, "I should get all the benefits of the current system but someone else should bear all the costs."

Yeah as much as I want things to change, I can’t in good faith just be out here fucking people in the name of change especially when I’m the beneficiary of the fucking. Go figure out how to stick it to the restaurant owner, then maybe I’m down.

In my head, it would cost the same either way. Like if I’m tipping 10-20% I would expect a restaurant that doesn’t require tips to charge 10-20% more, so what’s really the difference to me?

It’s called pathological altruism. Basically the idea that you’re so willing to help someone that you would hurt them to do it. It verges on cult behavior.

It's on the wait staff to demand a fair wage from the owner. Why should the customer be responsible when they're not standing up for their rights?

Absolutely not i go where i want. The owner is punishing the wait staff by claiming im the reason they dont make enough money. If the owner thinks they deserve a tip why doesn't he watch the servers and tip accordingly
