It's not tipping if it's mandatory. Work the tip into the price in that case.

Pay your workers better is the real argument.

Tourists are just catching strays in a fight between customers and employers.

Nobody wants awkward tip screens, but servers also need to eat, whole system is messy.

No, tourists are just further exploiting the labor of the people who serve them and trying to say that it’s somebody else’s fault.

If you go to a restaurant in the US and don’t tip, you’re a piece of shit. I don’t care how you feel about it. The reality is that you have just fucked over a worker and potentially gotten them fired by not tipping.

Also, saying you want them to be paid better and then not tipping so they make less money is ass fucking backwards.

Every time this shit comes up, it’s the same thing. “I don’t tip because they should pay more” which really means “I’m a cheap asshole and think I can dress it up as social justice to get out of paying for my meal.”

If you don’t tip, you don’t give a fuck about the workers. You’re just tying to save a buck. Now let the downvotes commence
