If you donât like paying for service donât go out. This is the way that it is and these are likely the guests that then get on Yelp and complainâŚabout service. You can adjust minimum wage all you want but professional waitstaff arenât going to pander to the wealthy for minimum wage. Minimum wage service sucks as it should, you get what you pay for; minimum wage, minimum effort. If you donât like the system, change it, donât victimize your fellow workers. They accepted the job under this current system. Iâm in that system and am working to change it but until then if you donât tip due to your high moral standards YTA. And itâs not because USians are stoopid (we are), itâs just the ingrained culture. Under capitalism the guest will be paying this money regardless. Much like this fauxmockracy, your choice is an illusionâŚ
"If you don't tip don't go out"? Telling people who want to see the tipping culture removed to not go out means that either way, the waiter doesn't get tipped. Europe has restaurants, so clearly tipping or not tipping doesn't dictate the existence of restaurants.
If a waiter works an entire shift and receives no tip, they are entitled to actual minimum wage instead of the reduced minimum wage. So there shouldn't be any moral misgiving to not tipping, it's just social pressure.
When we stop making money weâll quit. And then there wonât be restaurants since they can barely staff them as it is. Getting âwaited onâ by another human being is degrading to them and expensive for you. Tough tits for everyone if they donât want to cough up. Weâll be getting paid or your service will suck. Thatâs how it is. Or cook and clean for yourselves. And no minimum wage in this damned country is a living wage.
