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.

    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
