Granted I'm a millennial not gen z but I am so done with tipping culture. The whole thing is worse for employees and consumers. If everyone keeps tipping it won't ever go away or be dialed back. Yeah the short term is worse for employees and I feel for them, I'm married to a cook I get it. The idea that not tipping makes someone an asshole is exactly what businesses want us to perpetuate, and the internal moral high ground about it keeps us fighting each other

The reality should be tip if you want, don't tip if you don't want, stop spending energy fighting your fellow working class over their decision. The problem is with working wages and if you don't believe a business is providing that then don't buy stuff from them in the first place. That's how we vote in capitalism
