Comment on Tipping culture npcs
Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 8 months agoSo you’ve been a server and are aware of the uneven pay and the fact that if you don’t get good enough tips you’re making a starvation wage of minimum wage, and yet you still decide “fuck those people who are being exploited by restaurant owners because I don’t agree with tipping.” That’s heartless

Yes, because I’m against the inconsistent pay I experienced and want it to end so others do not experience the same.
Heartless is continuing to encourage such a system.

You not tipping isn’t going to result in any fundamental change in the system, you’re just stiffing the people who are being exploited.

Me not tipping probably the most meaningfully personal action I can take to help to bring a change to the system, namely ending tipping.
It’s certainly more effective than continued tipping is at trying to end tipping.

You could simply not eat at places that don’t pay their staff a living wage, because as it is, you’re still paying the company to continue their shitty practices.
