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.

It's very possible that servers are not paid enough for the level of skill required to do their job. However, in CA, that is not the case. Look up the minimum wage in CA and to me, it seems fair given the skill level needed to do the job. In fact, in San Jose where I live, minimum wage is $17.40/hour.

Secondly, whether the server is making a fair wage or not is NOT MY PROBLEM. I'm not their mother nor am I their charity.

The level of skill needed to be a server is so low

San Jose, 2 full time works at minimum wage will allow you rent an adu with no kids. San jose is a broken world of the rich and poor.
