I’ve been asked for tips when having carryout. And also getting a scoop of ice cream. Tipping is a relic of racist practices when southern people didn’t want to pay emancipated black workers a wage. It only still exists because restaurant owners lobby congress to keep it a thing. Stop bribing congress and pay your employees you fucks.
You're just complaining now. That has not been customary and it annoys me too. Don't tip if service wasn't rendered.
Sad fact but entirely irrelevant to the issue today.
In two sentences you have identified why you can't just stop tipping AND how to fix it: legislation.
If you stop tipping but still go out, you are essentially doing what racists in the past did by not paying people you would appear to not like. You not tipping is classist bigotry.
Fight for server's rights in a way that actually makes a difference: contact your congress people and elect people who care about this issue. Not tipping is just hurting people at the lowest rungs of society while still taking their labor. Gross.
Yeah, this isn't what you'd be doing. Survey servers and ask if they'd rather get tips or $15/hour and see what kind of responses you get.
