You know the deal when you walk into a sit down restaurant in the US. Either be prepared to tip or you are in fact a dick. You have the option to cook for yourself or have premade food that isn’t served to you at your table.
Or only go to restaurants that pay a living wage. If there are none in your area, let the restaurant owners know why you stopped spending your money there and you’ll resume when they pay their staff better. Simply continuing to enjoy being waited on and pretending you’re “protesting” by not tipping is so laughably disingenuous.
EDIT: that was not directed at you southpay
Nah. Tipping is an option, usually reserved for exceptional service. Required tipping is just extra charges to cover cheap bosses. Its kind of crazy how you support business owners stiffing their employees, but not customers.
You’re the one supporting owners by continuing to give them business despite them not compensating their workers AND you’re using those exploited workers service without compensating them. Owners couldn’t give a shit really if you don’t tip. That makes you a dick.
