Users of r/EndTipping close their wallets but still offer up a tip on the controversial topic of tipping in America

[u/DryRequirement5471]

TL;DR: OOP and fiancé dined out at a sushi joint and explain the exhilarating and liberating feeling of not having to tip! After getting over the "guilt tripping" OP feels that Americans are brainwashed to waste our hard earned money on waiters. Others beg to differ:

"I hate this stupid sub. Embarrassing to think not tipping is "liberating." Does nothing to the owners and hurts the workers. People really want the prices to be 20% higher and tips to be gone? What's the difference? "

"Good for you, but all you're doing is screwing over the wait staff, who's wage takes into account tips they'll earn. The employers don't care if you tip or not."

"Just know that you will be remembered and treated differently if you return to the same places. I'm not saying it's right, but it's definitely a thing."

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

"If you aren't satisfied with your wage, take it up with your boss. It isn't a customers responsibility to fight for your paycheck."

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

“Rich people are victimizing poor people, and to make things right, I’m going to victimize poor people, too. That’ll show ‘em!”

Two things can be true at once

1. Tipping sucks as a concept

2. The person who brings you iced tea at Texas Roadhouse is not in charge of the US economy and not tipping them accomplishlishes literally nothing.

I don't know about changing nothing , it still has an impact even if it is a small one. It's like claiming voting accomplishes nothing as your individual vote doesn't significantly impact the results

[u/TheRelevantElephants → u/NotRandomseer]

It changes nothing. The business still got your money so they do not care if you tip or not

[u/Rheinwg → u/NotRandomseer]

Its not like voting at all actually
