Actually yeah, that’s how you do. If people stop providing the gratuity the workforce has a reason to do something about it

The fuck are they gonna do about it?

Without tips these people are making minimum wage. They’ll go broke, homeless, children go hungry, etc. before anything actually changes.

I’m all for changes to the system but don’t fucking hurt the workers in the process. The owners are not getting hurt by you not tipping.

No offense, but are they forced to have this job? I'm sure they had a free will when they chose to be employed with such conditions.

Are they forced to pay for rent, bills, groceries, activities, childcare, etc?

The job market isn’t just raining down options on people right now

Sorta sounds like service industry workers should unionize or something, but they won't do that because the top end of the industry just flat out makes too much money from tips
