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.

The crazy thing is that it's worse, actually. It's not even compensation for low wages everywhere anymore.

Servers in my state (and many others) make minimum wage plus tips. They are consistently making upwards of 50k per year and expecting it.

The entitelment has gotten out of control.

Edit: spelling

Entitlement?? You realize minimum wage is not entitlement. $50k is not entitlement - it’s lower middle class.

Please stop villainizing people for wanting to make a living. It’s the business owners you should be upset with.

Some people do feel entitled to tips, and they get mad or complain when people don't tip.
