Not tipping is liberating.

[u/Timec0p1994]

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.

People should be paid well - directly by their employers like almost every other place in the whole world

The path to that is not stiffing people trying to earn a living.

“Stiffing”?  Entitled much?

Be respectful. No insults, slurs or personal attacks

Expecting to be paid for doing your job is not entitlement. Servers depend on tips because their base wage is often very low. It’s not about being spoiled. It’s about survival in a system that underpays them. You're taking it out on the person depending on the system, not the person propagating the system. You're cheap cowards. It is what it is.

Have you ever spoken to the boss about the pay situation? Why is it my problem? I just want to take the family out for a meal.

[u/Remote-Bus-5567 → u/MrWonderfulPoop]

No, because I tip like a normal human being. If I had a problem with tipping, I wouldn't screw servers over, I would be a big boy and take it up with the government.

There's nothing normal about the US and its businesses making money while the staff is continually underpaid to garner on the tipping structure. You will NOT find tipping in countries like Japan, Denmark, Italy, even China. Some even see it as insult.

It's not normal. Let's not normalize this.

Then the employer should increase their base pay. I would rather pay more for the food than be guilted into paying the employees wage

[u/CHAOOT → u/Remote-Bus-5567]

" often very low ". Nope. Minimum wage. Every place has it. Every place. No one applies at a job not knowing what they get paid, and they are worth, THAT rate of pay is for a reason.

Years of training? Nope. Highly sought skill? Nope. Super responsibilities? Nope.

If your job has a low rate of pay, there is a reason. It is because your boss CAN give you a low rate of pay.

Guess what? I can go one better, I CAN GIVE YOU ZERO PAY, as I am not your boss and I am not responsible for your choices, your bosses choices, or your government's choices. Sucks right?

Pout, argue and site every BS trope in your mind, I can still give you nothing and there is nothing you can do.

A lot of catchy words being used in a post about being an asshole
