Tipping is bullshit. Restaurants should pay their workers properly. But I’m not gonna punish the server for that. She has zero control over that.
If I can’t afford to tip then I just don’t go to the restaurant. People would prefer to make up excuses for why they don’t wanna tip and how that doesn’t make them an asshole while taking huge huffs of their own farts. If you don’t like the tipping culture just go to a fast food restaurant or make your own food. Why is everybody such whiney bitches about everything?
So you hate the tipping culture but also hate people who want it abolished. That's just beyond stupid.
No, I hate the people who say they want it abolished and use that as an excuse to not pay their waiters. I made it plainly clear in my explanation, I honestly don’t know how to dumb it down for you anymore man.
Lol yeah the "I went to the restaurant but didn't tip to teach everyone a lesson" is the same as "I voted for the third party to teach everyone a lesson."
No, you gave the restaurant owner their profit and the employee nothing. You helped no one, you taught no lessons, and if we could harness your mental gymnastics as physical gymnastics we would have infinite renewable energy.
Since a lot of places require the employees be paid at least minimum wage including tips, it would impact the owner directly and immediately...if everyone stopped tipping.
Keyword if, if everyone voted third party they'd win too, the rub is "that isn't going to happen."
Furthermore, so everyone doesn't tip, now that employer has to pay the guy a whole $43.50 for the day, the employer barely notices and the waiter chooses whether to pay his power bill or his water bill this month.
