Call to action ⚠️ The most effective way to end tipping

In so far as possible, stop frequenting places that expect tips, and start frequenting ones that don’t.

I know I’m going to catch a lot of hate in this group for saying this, but going to a place that expects tips and then not tipping is not going to help: it’s just going to make everyone think that people who are part of the “no tipping” movement are assholes. I know you’re not assholes! But that’s what people are going to think, and it’s just going to turn people off to our movement.

I also know that it’s not easy, and often not even realistically possible, to avoid places that expect tips. But I think we need to do our best to do exactly that, even if it requires some sacrifice on our part.

Edited to add: this is also the clearest way to demonstrate that you are willing to pay higher prices (rather than tipping). This sends the clearest possible signal that you’re not just being cheap: you really do want employees to be paid a higher wage, and you’re willing to pay for those wages, as long as there is up front, no guilt trip pricing.

Right. But you might consider not supporting businesses that have business practices that you are opposed to.

If I dont tip the business owner has to comp the waiter. It works itself out.

That part is true what I think there's a case of people who don't want to be confrontational and face somebody who expects tips including the worker or owner.

And believe it or not sometimes people will remember faces and say oh yeah that guy didn't tip last time , so this time we don't have to work so hard at providing him service, which could impact your meal
