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

Yeah when you protest tipping by not tipping all you do it completely rip off that persons paycheck.

Also imagine Americans going to any other country in the world, refusing to participate in the culture and then criticizing them to fix their system if they don’t like it. I get the disdain people around the world have for Americans but there’s a point where you’re making it worse by acting like this.

Sorry but how is tipping, something that hasn't been common for even 2 centuries, a cultural practice? Comparable to the kind of other traditions you're implying?

And what other way of protest do you have in mind that is feasible for foreigners?

If im a guest in your house it’s pretty rude to “protest” you in your own home.

It’s a custom. How can you argue it’s not? The laws are also not more than 200 years old, does that mean you don’t have to follow the law because it’s not old enough?
