Employers should pay their employees a good wage so you can get good service too.

You're taking it out on the employees though. If you don't agree with what the employers are doing, don't eat there.

Exactly. If workers aren't getting paid properly, don't work there.

Seems you’re the stupid one. Don’t go to places that don’t give people good wages. You get what you tolerate. Tough concept.

People with better offers do. People that don’t take what they can get.

I have a masters degree and still serve tables. If you want service cook and plate and present your own food at your own house goodbye

What do you mean? I get excellent service when I eat at restaurants. Not every restaurant in the world is in the USA.

no one’s arguing you there, but the fact of the matter is that your tips supplement their exploitation, it sucks and it should be difficult but its not. Not tipping them only helps you, which is why you dont tip, you might sorta care for the worker and think they should be paid more by their employer, but secretly you use this an an excuse to not tip

I openly use it as a reason not to tip. It certainly helps me, and I’m ok with it. My profession should be getting the most tips, but we don’t. So maybe that’s why easier for me to not tip others.

So you're selfish, why didn't you say that to begin with. No one would have wasted their time trying to get you to act like a decent human being if we knew that up front.

If you get good service then you tip high. If you don’t, you tip the normal amount and move on. Why is that so hard to grasp?

You’d think, but that’s just not how it works. I’ve noticed service tends to be worse in places it’s not traditional to tip.. they make the same money regardless, why do anything above and beyond for you? Minimum effort makes the same money

I guess there's no way of fixing this system. Employers should keep pushing for low wages.
