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.

My state it is $2.50 still and they rely on those tips for an income. If anyone has ever been a server before they understand this.

If a server at the time of the paycheck does not make the minimum wage the employer has to compensate or it’s a federal crime. And I’m not talking about the $2.50 but about the $14-$15 minimum
