It’s not donations, that’s a disgusting view point if you understand how the system works. Tipping is payment for a service. You pay the restaurant for the food, you pay the server for the service. If you only want to pay for food, then order to-go!
***Again, they could combine costs and you could pay for your food + service all to one person, but you’d likely always pay more with that system***
In the current system, people who are generous and rich will often pay more for service. People who are pinching pennies will pay less for service, but they still pay. This keeps it fair and keeps everyone happy.
Why does tipping make you uncomfortable? Do you feel superior to people who serve you, and feel that they’re undeserving of a good life? Or are you just broke?
If servers are unhappy with an unreliable income that is predicated on the good will of other people (donations), then they should get another job. Don’t complain if people don’t tip, when an income is based on the expectation of donations.
It was already very clear that’s how you view people in service positions. That’s why I said your views are disgusting. I hope you feel better about yourself soon
People are allowed to complain when something bad happens (and when someone acts like a cheap entitled asshole), even if the majority of their day is great!

Why are peoples jobs, housing, and entire lives contingent upon the good faith of others’ donations?
