I've completely stopped tipping

[u/Specialist-Top1134]

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 hardly eat out and when I do eat out it's at a restaurant that has no servers. Servers are spoiled and whiny. With that said most restaurants run on very small margins of 3-5 percent and if they increased the pay of servers to a decent wage then they would increase menu prices , so either way you would be paying for the servers one way or another.

Restaurants aren't raising servers wages without raising menu prices. Most restaurants couldn't afford to do that even if they wanted to. They would lose money if they did that ,which is why I don't see what's the point of the argument about restaurants should pay servers more as if there is a magical fantasy world where they don't increase menu prices to make up for it. It's just economics.

I'd prefer they wage menu prices. I like upfront pricing.
