Last post was about whining restaurants who say you shouldn’t eat out if you can’t afford to tip.
I have too many feelings about tips

I’ll gladly pay tips if it was a fixed rate and included in the meal and same for everyone. Leaving tips on customers’ discretion is stupid. There’s no guarantee for the outcome. Only one who benefits on this BS is the restaurant owner

To add to this, people who intentionally refuse to tip out of protest are making the problem worse. Not tipping leads to the worker having to quit to find a better paying job. They are then replaced by someone at the same or lower wage. Not tipping benefits the restaurant owner. It doesn't harm them.
If we want tipping culture to end, we need to boycott places where it is expected.
