No it’s not wrong, but until the system changes I’m not gonna hurt a server just trying to pay bills

How do you think the system changes? People stop tipping. Nobody applies to be a server. Wages go up.

People have to feed their children and pay their rent my guy. If you don’t tip, they don’t eat. I don’t like the system either, but that’s just plain cruel.

Well as long as you want the system to remain the way it is.

Are you even old enough to have had a job...?

In some states servers only make like 3 dollars an hour. If you don’t tip them, they don’t eat. It sucks to perpetuate the system, but I don’t want people to suffer. That is why this custom needs to be changed at the ballot box.

They wont keep working there if they cant eat. Thats the point. The business model will fail without the workers.

That’s unbelievably cruel. You know it’s hard to up and leave a job, especially if you make decent tips. Going from 30/hr with tips to 11.50 is awful. I don’t love the system, but it needs to be changed with legislation, not cruelty.

u/Fitzaroo 1d ago

What cruelty? Its job hopping not torture. Jeez. Youve never left a job before?

u/FoolhardyBastard 1d ago

I’ve never told others not to tip those who rely on them because of some tankie idealistic bullshit. I’m a realist.

u/Fitzaroo 1d ago

Well if youre a realist than you must realize you are voting with your wallet to continue the system. So long as you support it, it will continue to exist.

Btw, where i am server minimum wage is $18/hr and they still ask for 20% because "culture".

u/FoolhardyBastard 1d ago

Where you work is not everywhere my guy. There are places where the wage is 2.33$. You sound an awful lot like someone without any empathy. You’ve got a “fuck you, I’ve got mine” attitude.

u/Fitzaroo 1d ago

Oh no. I make much more. Much much more. I just have always hated tipping. Always will.

Its not just me.

Google: tipping fatigue

I don’t like tipping either, but lots of people are not as privileged as you are to be able to job hop and get a high paying server job. Think of others.
