    Yeah… If you can’t afford the tip, then you can’t afford the meal. If you’re morally opposed to tipping culture, then don’t give money to the restaurants who rely on tipping.

    Not tipping at a restaurant isn’t some revolutionary act, it’s just being a dick to workers. Waiters aren’t some sort of class betrayer, they’re just another worker being screwed over by management.

    I don’t like tipping culture either, but at the end of the week that waiter is still going to have to pay rent.

        So I need to stop using a service because of the way they treat their workers?

        Yes, it’s pretty easy to find a restaurant with self service.

        Tell me, do you use Amazon? Walmart? Do you eat McDonald’s? Or Dunkin donuts?

        No, I don’t. Most vendors on Walmart or Amazon have their own stores online with the same pricing, and I don’t eat fast food.

        Fuck yes you entitled douche!

        If you are morally opposed to how a service treats its workers and you still use the service, you’re aren’t actually morally opposed, you’re just an asshole virtue signaler.
