Because when the customer doesn’t tip, it hurts the server who is already likely barely scraping by. It’s not a big deal if you’re a customer that doesn’t care about the worker, or if you’re the owner of the restaurant, however.
Sure, but until they do, don’t support exploitative businesses, or if you do, at least take care of the worker being exploited instead of doubling down on it and making it worse for them.
The tips aren’t only subsidizing the restaurant owner, they’re also what makes sure your server can eat and afford rent, until that changes not tipping only hurts the worker.
When we had covid servers learned how they are being screwed when they tried to use unemployment benefits.
This won’t end until people stop paying tips, we have fucking stores now asking to be tipped.
People should stop paying those “voluntary” tips, and servers should go to their employers asking for a raise or quit. That’s the only way this can change.
The whole tipping system is broken and unfair (for example how much do cooks (who do the majority of work) get?)
I’d like to see you get everyone in the entire country to agree on ANYTHING, including but not limited to, not tipping.
Tips are what let’s them get away with, by paying tips you are actually subsidizing the owner of the restaurant.
You subsidizing the owner directly by paying the menu price is worse than “just the tip™” by a long shot. At best they start paying bare minimum wage (absolutely not livable) and upcharge you and keep it. You’re so naïve to how it works here I’d bet either you’ve never even been here, or you’ve never left an inuslar bubble much larger than your house.

The owner then fires them and replaces them with another from the endless wave of people desperate enough, and the cycle continues. Woo hoo.
I like to see the “endless wave” of people wanting to work for money that doesn’t even let them afford a place to live.
People have this misconception that things are set, while in reality employers will pay as little as they get away with and that works both ways.

It is amazing that they managed to pay their employees so little and also convince them to be mad about it at their customers not them.
