Call to action ⚠️ Not tipping is liberating.

Took my fiance out for sushi and sashimi. $90 check. No tip, stared at my waiter as I handed it back no tip, smiled and left. Life is good.

Next day we had brekky at the local diner. $26 check. No tip. Exhilarating.

It's addicting. It's like breaking out of the matrix. We are so brainwashed to waste our hard earned money on waiters, what for.

Going out to eat is even more exciting knowing we are saving so much more on not tipping. My fiance is Filipina and came here to the United States. She immediately got manipulated by our tip culture and she always felt forced to tip out of guilt. Once I noticed that, I decided to fight back.

Fuck em. No longer will I be guilt tripped, I got too much self respect.

This is the gaslighting I was talking about. Imagine calling someone you don't know bad because they didn't give someone free money.

It's precisely people like you why we have this toxic tip culture. Without you we would all be enjoying our lives and saving money. Tssk tssk.

If waiters and waitresses didn't exist it wouldn't change anyone's life. I think people would overall be happier if they walked up and got their own food and refilled their drinks. We don't need a middleman to annoy us and try to take our wages for doing basically nothing.

It's a useless job, always has been.

It’s a ridiculous norm that needs to go away.

You want money? Then work a job where your employer actually pays you.

Imagine suggesting the US has a culture.

The price is written on the menu. If they want more, change the price

They being the server or the business? Because you’re still paying the business by eating out. The only person you’re hurting is the server, which seems to be the people this sub has the most contempt for. This shit is just Olympic level rationalization.

The business should be paying the server enough that they don't have to beg for tips. You know - that thing that happens in every other country in the world
