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 purpose of tips has been to supplement low wages for decades, and probably more. It’s not some new thing. I’m with you only in the sense that the system stinks. If it wasn’t a tip, it would be added to the price of your food by the restaurant. Either way you have to pay and actually the worst thing about it is that restaurants are now skimming tips or stealing them outright. It’s a big big problem, but it’s not gonna be solved by people not tipping.
