I also don't tip
Because I don't go to restaurants with servers
I vote with my wallet that the whole concept is stupid, I hate paying 20% for someone to be fake nice and move food 10 feet
you're just in a different income class. nothing wrong with that.
but people with the money to burn tend to prefer enjoying nicer things, such as personal service, so they pay for it.
They should be replaced with automated mechanical food shuttles. I would tip those.
Why would you tip those?
he tips his fedora
How else do you plan to knock them over?
This is the way. By going but not tipping you're just fucking over the server, not the business. To hurt the business' bottom line you have to not go. Or dine and dash, but that then fucks the server harder while also affecting the business.
That why they said they don't go to restaurants with servers. Either go to a restaurant where you buy food at a counter and bus yourself, or go to a tipless resturant with servers. Obviously don't just screw over the server.
Though, on a large scale, if everyone just stopped tipping all at once, nobody would be willing to work for server wages anymore, and restaurants would have to increase pay or get fucked. Too bad our economy is based on fighting for survival, and not the profit motive, because the reality is that it would just fuck people's lives up really bad.
And I was agreeing, thus starting the comment with "that is the way," which I'm assuming you missed.
And sure, and I'm assuming you mean more than $7.25, but there'd be a lot of missed rent and power bills along the way until they catch up.
What about dine and dash, while leaving a cash tip?
9/10 chance that goes to cover part of your bill and the waiter gets fucked, but if you could guarantee they pocket it that'd work.
Hmm, maybe slip it to them when asking for the bill?
There's a good chance the restaurant will take it all since they were "owed".
