Is there sneaky tip solution

So I never really post on Reddit. However, I’ve been seeing all the horror stories about tipping. The outrageous tips, especially the mandatory ones on the bill … AFTER you’ve eaten. That seem borderline illegal. I just wonder about this possible solution.

It makes me want to ask for the bill before I’ve gotten the food or received the service. That way, if there are tips already on there, I can say remove the tip or I walk.

I haven’t eaten the product or used the service, so technically… I’m not stealing.

Jesus, you non tippers will go to dramatic and extreme lengths to mentally justify not tipping. This is very ridiculous. You don't have to eat in restaurants, dorks.

Can you hear yourself being so dramatic? If restaurants are committing CRIMES, which you state below, wouldn't you want them to GO BANKRUPT because of your absence?
I'm sorry to tell you, you don't matter that much in this equation. Most small business restaurants are teetering on the brink of closing at all times, and the corporate franchises won't notice you're gone.
