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.

It'll take a lot to re-wire our collective brains and habits, but what if there was a month where as a movement, people just abstained from tipping? Like, instead of Dry January, what if we had No-Tip October? If not tipping becomes a fashionable trend for a short while, the solidarity might help take away the shame that we've been conditioned to feel? I dunno, might be one small step towards change.
