We dug into how American tipping culture got so broken, and the fight to fix it.
It turns out that your tips are subsidizing the payrolls of multi-billion dollar chains, while they pay their workers under minimum wage.
It’s a system rooted in slavery, and pushed by a wealthy restaurant owners onto the rest of us.
But there’s a growing movement to change it.
So stop going to places that expect tips! You don’t have to use these services. Just stop.
You just want to have your treats and give up nothing and pretend like you’re helping.
Okay, thanks for the advice but I already don’t frequent businesses that exploit their employees and you have no reason to assume I do.
You made the assumption I do just so you could get a snarky remark in, not to make a meaningful counterpoint.
I’m sure you don’t 🤫
But what I said applies to everyone - just refuse to do business with these places. Don’t give them your money and then refuse to tip. That’s psychotic lol
