I’m all for refusing to tip, but be up-front about it. Let the server know ahead of time that you won’t be tipping. You’ll still get served, but it’ll be with the level of service that the waiter thinks you should get, rather than with the level of service that you think you deserve (without paying them). If you’re going to refuse to tip, at least take the mask off so your server can do the same.
If you’re willing to do that, then more power to you. Believe it or not, many servers will be chill about it, and treat you the same as any other customer. Especially if you’re there when it’s slow. But if you’re afraid to be honest because you might get worse service, then you’re just a scab who is leeching from the tipping culture and only hurting the working class.

You pay for the service of being waited on… don’t want to tip… then go to McDonald’s! wtf! 🤬

It’s not a “service”. All I want from the staff is to tell them what I want to order and to bring the food. That’s all. I don’t see what extra “service” I’m supposedly paying for

I like prompt refills. I’m happy to tip for that.

the restaurant pays for their staff… should you pay for having a table and chair too? staff is a basic requirement of a restaurant

Do you tip for the service for customer tech support or similar customer facing industries as well?

Is there an option to pick up my own food at the counter? I’d gladly do it.
