Fair enough, but still...the moment you order food from a server that doesn't get paid a fair wage is the moment you are culpable. If you are eating out at a tipping establishment, not tipping is a dick move.
By all means, advocate for living wages for servers and vote for candidates who will try to do something about it...I certainly do. But make your own meals at home if you aren't going to tip.
I cant remember the last time I went to an actual restaurant, that shit is way too expensive these days. I also dont live in America, and we have only a rudimentary tipping culture in comparison, but it is being pushed more and more because it is cheaper for the bosses. And I hate it.
Gotcha. And yeah, all I know is US restaurants. If this shit is becoming the norm where you are, then hell yeah, let the restaurant owners have a piece of your mind and fuck-all from your wallet.
