    You’ve got the wrong person. I tip, and probably too much.

    I don’t want tipping to end because I expect to pay less. I want it to end because it’s inherently deceptive to the customer. As is tax not being included in the sticker price.

      Sorry, either that was for one of the other 40 of you or it was meant to be the royal “you,” depending. And I’m not going back to figure out which.

      But that’s good that you do (if you go places that require it).

      Sure, I’m all for it, my arguments are varied about the 40 of you but the jist is as follows:

      • Sure it’d be great if it changed, but
      • it has not. So while you’re here visiting the country either
      • don’t go to tipped places if you refuse to tip, or
      • tip if you do,
      • because not tipping only hurts the worker.
      • no it doesn’t “hurt the boss too,”
      • no it isn’t “the only way to change the system,”
      • it isn’t even a way to change the system
      • and even if it was, it’s not going to happen in time for the people who are already here to see it
      • sure accidents happen, you may not know
      • once you learn, if you choose not to tip the worker that has only committed the mortal sin of serving your food
      • it just makes you an asshole.

      (For context in this one I definitely mean the royal “you,” not the “you” you. “You” you said you do tip lol.)
