If you live in a place where food service workers are underpaid and you don't tip, you're an asshole. This is not a morally defensible stance unless there is a system to protect those workers already in place.
While I'm totally for the workers being paid great, it's not really MY job to do so (unless i own the restaurant I'm eating at. And at those the waiters are paid way above average and don't need tips). Here we tip for excellent service, not the bare minimum to get my food on the table.
If you tip to pay salaries, YOU are the actual asshole that keeps a system alive that is the absolute dogshit in dystopian shitholes with no worker-rights like the US.
If you're patronizing a restaurant that underpays wait staff and refuse to tip the server, you're not only fucking them but you're supporting the system by going to the restaurant in the first place.
If you would've actually read the comment, you would've been in a clear advantage.
Where i live and eat, staff is paid fair and tips are given. But, as everywhere in this country, for especially good service and not because the customer is forced to because the employer doesn't pay wages because the system is broken.
I also said that at my restaurants, waiting staff is paid way above average, which is probably multiple times of your weird country's mininum. Do you even have a point?
Sure, let me help you! My point is that if you're patronizing a restaurant that underpays wait staff and refuse to tip the server, you're not only fucking them but you're supporting the system by going to the restaurant in the first place.
You don't even... Wow. Ok whatever. Suit yourself.
