  Bro is an idiot without an ounce of empathy who has clearly never had to work a service job a day in their lives. I’m with you ms docrime

    I’m against tipping specifically because of having worked in food service jobs. I’m sorry if that doesn’t fit your narrative. And neither of you have meaningfully responded to why the rest of the world manages fine without tipping, which really says it all.

      If you’re going out to eat and not tipping, I truly don’t believe you have worked at a food service job. Full stop.

      Tipping is a construct of capitalism that allows owners to shunt the burden of paying their workers to the customer. Yes, it’s fucked. This does not change the fact that if a server waits on your bum ass for an hour, and you don’t tip, they probably made about $3 while serving you. It’s basic human respect to compensate someone for that - and while it’s fucked that the burden falls on you, that’s the name of the game in America.

      Don’t go out to eat if you don’t want to tip.

        While serving, I highly disliked the wildly inconsistent pay I received due to the tipping system. It makes paying rent on time hard. It’s honestly a really shitty way to live, which if you worked as server you would also know. Yeah getting $100 tip randomly is a cool surprise, no disagreements there … But it can’t be relied upon.

        Also, still no comment on how the rest of the civilized world does just fine without tipping?

        And lastly, no thank you. I’m going to continue to go out and not tip. Not only that, I’m going to continue to encourage others to do the same.

        It’s working. Growing numbers if both servers and customers are becoming more and more sick of this bullshit and the tide is shifting.

  I didn’t ignore the material conditions you stated, I actually reaffirmed them.

  You however did ignore my point about the rest of the world who manages without tipping.
