Agree it needs to die, but vigilante moves like this aren't going to end it. You're just shorting workers that are completely reliant on tipping. If you want to make a difference support businesses that don't use tipping and more importantly support legislation to restrict tipping and enforce fare pay base wages.
Unfortunately, that's what's necessary in order for change to happen.
All businesses will do is look at the data, and if the data shows that tipping can supplement low wages then wages will not increase.
Umm, so you have come up with a fancy reason why you think it's ok for you to be a jerk?
So what? You're still being a jerk. And as for your reasoning, no, you're not helping bring about any change. The owner of a restaurant couldn't care less - they're still profiting, so your whole argument is complete bullshit.
Jerk.
Maybe if enough people stop tipping, workers will go work at places where they're paid enough so they don't need tips to survive? Horrific for the poor until tips-to-survive ends tho.
Voting against parties that make laws propping up an economic system that rewards psychopathy and punishes ethical behavior, would be better.
Sure if it's some sort of organized protest. One off deviations in a sea of tipping compliance only hurt individuals and make you feel like you are doing meaningful work when you are in fact just being a tool.
