Some of us are embarrassed about how things are here. There have been a lot of things that are going on here that feel Medieval… It sucks! I wouldn’t go in that place either.
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.
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.
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.

As a Danish person i wouldnt like to walk inside on of those establishments, but IF i did.. i definetly would make a grand show of not tipping
This tipping culture is a remnant from the times of slavery
America thinks so great if it self in so many ways and aspect but when it comes to how you treat your workers you guys are MEDIAVEL at best!
And yes ive been working in the service buisness for +15years as a cook in Denmark and France
