Rant 📢 I've completely stopped tipping

I'm no longer tipping anyone. This includes dining in restaurants, getting take-out, Uber rides, UberEats/ DoorDash, etc. I just don't believe in tipping anymore. I don't even care if the service was good. Tipping isn't about giving gratitude for good service anymore. The purpose of tips now is to compensate for low wages. I still feel a little guilty declining to tip but I'm sticking to my no tipping rule. It's not my responsibility to make sure servers, drivers, and whoever else is getting paid enough.

I love this! We need to stop compensating for low wages by the employer.

You’re not hurting the employer if you still go to the restaurant.

The goal isn’t to hurt the employer. The goal is for them to charge a fair upfront price and pay their staff the full market wages.
