Tip generously or stay home.
Preferably just stay home and stop giving money to this industry.
Customers unable to give their money to a business due to understaffing as a result of shit wages and people refusing to tip sends a much stronger message
No it doesn't. It just hurts the workers.
Customers refusing to do business sends a message. If you still give the business your money they don't give a fuck if their workers get tips.
And subsidising shit wages just helps employers keep up a shitty system that only they benefit from. Sorry if this sucks but maybe some workers should get behind this idea as well instead of always playing victim.
So stop going to places that expect tips! You don't have to use these services. Just stop.
You just want to have your treats and give up nothing and pretend like you're helping.
Okay, thanks for the advice but I already don't frequent businesses that exploit their employees and you have no reason to assume I do.
You made the assumption I do just so you could get a snarky remark in, not to make a meaningful counterpoint.
I'm sure you don't 🤫
But what I said applies to everyone - just refuse to do business with these places. Don't give them your money and then refuse to tip. That's psychotic lol
Yes, your incredulity certainly makes your argument much stronger. But postulating obvious platitudes is what really drives your point home.
I make it a habit to never believe anyone on the internet.
Good on you. Is accusing people you "never believe" of lying part of that habit?
If I don't believe the things you say then, by definition, I am assuming you are lying.
It's not personal. That's just the internet - people lie.
Wow, that's so deep, you are so profound!
Except it's complete bullshit, isn't it? Believing something is entirely different from accusing someone of something but a great philosopher like you is surely aware of that, right?
You made up a stupid principle on the spot after being called out for talking bullshit because you couldn't find a suitable counter argument. It's neither personal nor the internet, it's your weak attempt of worming out of something dumb you said. Don't worry, I was 15 once, I remember what it feels like. Your brain just isn't there yet.
Now kindly go troll elsewhere.
Why? Never tip ever. Support unions and strikes.
Stop going to places that tip
You're just helping their boss steal income from the mouths of people forced to serve you for poverty wages. If you actually gave a shit you'd stop giving their oppressors money in the first place. But you don't. You want your treats.
The workers need to stand up to their employers. As long as you have waiters defending tipping culture with "But I make more money like this" it will not change
The workers don't need you to bully them into standing up to their employers. That's basically accelerationism - the idea that if the workers suffer enough they will be forced to fight back.
