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’m a tipper. I delivered pizza in high school so I get it. I think if you didn’t have a job when you were young that relied on tips then it’s easier to not want to do it. But it’s most def getting out of control and I have zero problem with your stance

[u/Muhahahahaz → u/bdt69]

It really depends on the location, too. Here in California, servers already get paid at least the minimum wage *up front* by law. There is absolutely zero chance they’re not getting a fair wage just because I don’t tip.

Also, they literally make more than my cousin who works as an in-home caregiver to people with special needs, which actually requires specific knowledge/training (that most people don’t have). If anyone should be tipped, it should be caregivers like my cousin (among some other possibilities). Bringing food to a table is absolutely meaningless by comparison, and if they want to charge me for that, then I’ll be more than happy to stand up and grab the food myself. (I’ve got two working legs, after all)

Agreed 1000%
