If you continually [work for] a place that doesn't pay their staff better, all you're doing is rewarding the business owner and telling them to keep doing what they're doing. It solves nothing and doesn't get rid of tipping culture to keep giving these shitty businesses your [time].

I obviously don’t agree with this opinion; I don’t think either of them makes sense. Boycotting a business from the consumer side leads to fewer tips and layoffs, while boycotting a business from the employee side results in… unemployment. Both scenarios objectively harm workers. Change either needs to come from the top down via legislation, or from the bottom-up via unionization.

some grocery stores are "employee owned".
