    Lol, I’m sure your reasoning is really going to make a difference to the person depending on tips to make rent. And I’m sure the owner is just going to feel terrible that his server didn’t get compensated.

    Maybe you should just avoid giving your business to restaurants that exploit the tip based system? You aren’t ending tipping culture by not tipping, you’re just taking advantage of workers just as much as the owners.

      If a person doesn’t tip, their server doesn’t get tipped.

      If that same person avoids giving business to restaurants that exploit the tip based system, the same server still doesn’t get tipped.

      You’re not ending tipping culture by tipping, either. Just saying.

        They may have more time or availability for someone who does tip, plus they aren’t wasting their labour on someone.

        You’re not ending tipping culture by tipping, either. Just saying.

        Yeah, but I never claimed I was attempting to end tipping culture by wasting people’s time and effort.

        Again, why not just support businesses that don’t rely on tipping to pay their staff?
