This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Who's the cheap one in this equation?
.... the customer who is paying the owner of the restaurant for the food AND is obligated by social convention to pay extra to the waiter who is underpaid.
or
... the restaurant owner who doesn't mind living in a world where we have normalized underpaying restaurant workers to the point where we pass down that responsibility to the customer who is already paying for the food.
Pay your workers a proper wage and get rid of the idea of tipping.
Don't like tipping? Protest the policies by not going to restaurants, dont shove it on the workers who are stuck in the system.
The owner is 100% happy you came to pay him and not the waiter he didnt wanna pay anyway.
Honestly, in these debates more often than not I find that the waiters don't want tipping culture changed either. A lot (not all, I understand) of waiters make bank on tips and then don't accurately report them as income so it's not even taxed correctly. They don't want that to change.
I don't give a shit what the waiter wants honestly, I shouldn't have to pay the owner and the worker separately
I don't disagree with you.
