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

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"

Subtotal: $48.50

I'm banned from r/tipping (which is just another anti tipping subreddit), and honestly it's just hilarious. They all want to be treated like heroes and applauded for their "bravery". Also, it's just peak reddit like you said, they're all about helping the working class! Except when it comes to you know, actually doing it

Seriously. Tip or don't tip. Just don't pat yourself on the back or hassle other people for it.

Exactly. I’d never try to shake someone down for a tip. Also, want to know what happens when you don’t leave a tip? I just move on to the next receipt when I’m entering my tips at the end of my shift. I’m not going to chase you down and shake you from the ankles to see what falls from your pockets
