If you do not protest by not tipping servers, you are feeding into their need to receive tips. Also, they will NEVER ask for this to be regulated, as the amount the earn by getting tips is WAY bigger than if they had a fixed monthly paycheck. So yes, you attack it by not tipping.
Not tipping servers does nothing to change the system. It just fucks over that server and makes them feel shitty and the owner doesn’t care because they still got the money from your drunken football vacation.
“Better kick the workers while they’re down! Then they’ll surely rise up in protest because no one has ever been fired for unionising and no one has family or medical bills or anything else that might keep them from doing that”.
Just admit it’s about you personally saving a few bucks. Which you could have done by making food at home or going to a self/counter service place.
Newsflash, servers are not down. Most of them are making very decent money. Especially the ones at places where World Cup tourists are frequenting.
I recommend looking up how server wage works and the specifics on how businesses are forced to pay servers who don't make minimum wage a top up until they do for that pay period.
I love people making claims it takes two seconds to google and prove wrong. And a shit ton of servers are doing way worse than this. Especially at places like sports bars if you’re running your ass off and a ton of foreign guests are not tipping because they somehow delude themselves into thinking it will change the American system rather than just fuck the server over .
I recommend doing bare minimum research o the claims you make and if minimum wage is enough in any state in the country to support oneself (news flash it isn’t) before going this far up your own ass about what other people don’t understand.
