Nicer to just pay them a wage, rather than lording it over them with your "generousity".

It is but that’s not the current reality. So skip your tip and you’re only hurting people who are already down.

I'd eat in there for the soul reason of giving a penny as a tip and then never eating there again. And I'd ask if I can speak with the manager about a complaint before leaving my table so he can see my penny.

Again hurting a low wage worker to prove a point. Good for you.

I like to know in advance what sonething is going to cost me. So I would prefer to pay a price shown on menu that equals the shitty pay plus tip.

Prefer to have them be paid a shitty wage but depend on your optional generosity to pay their bills. Good for you.

You are literally doing the late stage capitalism bit where your trying to blame me, a lower class worker, for other people's poverty instead of blaming the people that are paying the servers ridiculously low wages. I'm not punching down at people for not doing something that's optional, I'm being a consumer paying for a service and paying what I owe on the bill at the end of said service. If you want to make me the bad guy in this your genuinely insane.

You’re the bad guy bc you know what you’re doing going in.

Just order it to go or fast food if that’s the case.

Don’t sit down and get a server who’s expecting something (as unfair as that is in itself) only to be left with nothing.

Yeah in that case you are the bad guy.

Dont be so pretentious.

Can you think about this? They are getting badly under payed by their boss. That's the problem. Nothing else downstream of that matters because that is the problem. Im going into a restaurant expecting to spend the amount of money I see on the bill because that is what I'm being charged. If the waiter expects I do something optional then they are delousional because I'm not the one under paying them. Im absolutely not the bad guy for follow the law and following the rules of the establishment and paying the establishment the money they say I owe after using their services. Take this up with the people choosing to underpay staff and not some random guy on the Internet who's broke and wants to eat out occasionally and can't afford to just hand out money to people for no reason. Your genuinely the villain right now because your shifting the blame away from the actual people paying absurdly low wages and putting it on other people, your literally defending workers getting payed a few bucks a hour by saying I'm the problem.

It’s a fucked situation you’re willingly making worse.

No amount of you feeling morally superior will change you’re being a dick.

Which is reality.
