    Oh! I see! You’re operating under the assumption that tips are paid to the owner! They’re paid to the workers, often directly. It’s usually advisable to tip in cash because tipping via card makes it easier for employers to steal from their employees.

    So by not tipping I’m making the owner actually pay their employees?

    Up to the non-tipped minimum wage. A good shift with tips brings in more than that.

    And you say that it won’t happen because the owner is a piece of shit? Wow that’s… totally not a problem for me.

    Of course it isn’t. It’s wage theft and you obviously celebrate it.

    Do you really think the poor capitalist class will just give you anything you ask if you do it politely? Stop tipping.

    The capitalist class won’t care if you don’t tip. They make the same either way. You’re determined not to understand this. The way to hurt the owners is to boycott the restaurant entirely. It’s a dick move to eat there, have a waiter serve you, and then not leave a tip. The only person you’re harming in that case is the worker. Which seems to be a preferable situation for you.

    Mate, I don’t know how to make you understand that I don’t live in the only “developed” country that makes their waiters and other service workers earn their wages from the tips.

    I understand you’re from another country. It’s why you blame every worker (and only the workers) in the US for trump.

    I know there is absolutely nothing that will make you understand that being a cheap piece of shit who doesn’t tip isn’t the moral choice. It’s just being a cheap piece of shit. If you want to make the moral choice (there’s no chance of that, ever.) you stay away from the places that underpay their employers.

    And that I don’t have any intention to visit it.

    That makes me so happy.

    Also, keep tipping, the owner class must be really happy that you cover their labor expenses.

    They don’t care if the expense of labor is covered. They’re supposed to make up for any deficit caused by shitty people who don’t tip, but wage theft is the most common crime in the US for a reason. I’m sure you believe that’s the evil workers’ fault too.

    If you eat at a restaurant that underpays its workers, you are perpetuating the problem.

    Eating there and not tipping is worse for the workers than eating there and tipping, which is worse than finding somewhere else to eat.

    The piece of shit owner gets your money if you tip or if you don’t tip. They get none if you eat elsewhere.

    Show me how little you care by replying.

    Now imagine the rest of the world that couldn’t even vote and are suffering the consequences of something they didn’t have even the chance to vote.

    Do you suppose things are great here?

    By tipping, you are screwing them furtherly by allowing the owners to enrich without paying wages. Tipping won’t solve the issue, will perpetuate it.

    Eating at restaurants that pay the tipped minimum wage of 2.13 an hour at all perpetuates the issue, regardless of whether you tip. Don’t try to put an ethical face on being a cheapass.

    The what? So I should move to the us from my country to tip some waiter and save lives?

    Please stay right where you’re at. Don’t be a tourist, you’ll give tourists a bad name.

    I swear usians are expert in trying to guilt-trip others into solving their own problems.

    I don’t want you to solve my problems. I want you to stop blaming poor workers for the problems created by their oppressors.

    I couldn’t care less about you all

    You’ve made that evident by hating US workers. And only the workers.

    Your country is fucking over the whole world thanks to the pedohitler you chose as president, and I should give a fuck about it?

    I didn’t choose him. I guess I deserve it for being outnumbered, though.

    Stop working in shitty restaurants and you’ll see how fast they start paying a living wage.

    I don’t work in restaurants. Unlike you, I have sympathy for those who do.

    Instead, you perpetuate a system by shifting the blame towards the customer.

    People work where they can find work. You blame the workers but not the entitled people who whine about everything to people who are just trying to make a living in an exploitative system. Workers are trying to live. You hate them because they don’t quit and go on the nonexistent dole.

    Solve your own problems instead of blaming others hoping for them to do it.

    I try. Keep blaming capitalism’s victims for its excesses. You’re acting like all the fat entitled American tourists you whine about. Especially the ones with MAGA hats. Your attitude toward working people is 100% identical to the worst one of them.

    I’m not blaming you for American tipping culture. I’m saying you hate the working poor.

    And, again, it’s not on me. If the owner is not paying them a living wage in the US, I don’t see how is it the customer’s fault and responsibility to cover for what the owner is not paying.

    It’s the customer’s responsibility to avoid places that exploit their workers.
