I completely agree that tipping culture is dumb and there is a reason most the rest of the world doesn't have one. But you change that by not going to businesses that use the tipping model and patronizing ones that pay their employees proper wages. You change that by calling/writing your legislators and telling them you want restaurants to have to pay real wages.

You do not change that by going to a tip-based business, using their services and then not tipping. You hurt only one person doing that and it's your server. You just make yourself into a complete asshole, regardless of your noble intentions.

This. People just want to justify being cheap. Its all excuses.

Eh?

You think little, of servers?

"You gave our servers a hard time, made a huge mess, argued with the manager, and didn't tip. You're not welcome."

That simple.

Yes, if they are regular customers that constantly don't tip, then none of the waiters are going to want to waste their time waiting on them.

I think they are well within their right if no one is willing to wait on them.

They can refuse for any reason they like.

I read that article. I feel like there's more to it. She said that some of her friends aren't always able to tip. But I can't imagine a restaurant remembering you for that unless you were also a monumental asshole or you repeatedly went there and never tipped.

A non-tipping customer isn't "fighting for fair wages", even if they honestly belive they are, they are just causing workers to literally make less money for their work. Which is like the opposite of what they are claiming to fight for. So if the establishment knows that someone is about to short-change their workers, I don't blame them for not serving the customer.

They are though because if everyone stops tipping and they don't increase wages they won't have workers, granted the problem is that most people in the US are still conditioned to tip so it just makes the non tippers look bad and the staff end up under paid.

I hear a lot of servers dont want to get paid a good wage because then they lose out a lot of money from tips. Like some say they can make thousands a night.

But most others struggle and would love $20 an hour.
