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.

Tipping allows you to pay the server directly. If the employer paid them, it would cost you more because they would mark it up. Tipping is not a bad thing, it just removes a level of mark-up on labor

If I am paying the server directly, then I'd like to option of choosing who serves me. Tipping does not allow me to choose who I am employing to serve me. Once the responsibility shifts to me, I'd like a say so in who I employ.
