RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Are you being intentionally obtuse?
You care about making tips because consistent income means you can make plans.
That would be you, or OP, or anyone who is rejecting tipping culture by independently stiffing people LIKE A HERO (/s).
Direct follow -> look up crab bucket. The idea is you pull others down to keep them from succeeding. It sure seems like that is what you are doing if you understand the situation.
And the end:
Yes the rest of the world is better about this. And no, I don't make 10 times what you made, it is more like 15 or 20. I don't see "no tips" as a threat, I see no tips (individually) as only affecting the servers you encounter who are trying to scrape by who ARE NOT THE ONES TO PUNISH.
I make a shitload of money (yeehaw! It only took 13 years of college), and with that money I can cause some change. The difference between you and I is, having lived the life, I don't do that by being a giant fucker and cheaply keeping $10 in my pocket.
Quit being a cheap bastard. Tip your workers. Then vote, volunteer, and donate money in that order. Or bookmark this post, and when you cross 40 read the thread again and respond. I feel like you might think about it differently.
