    It’s like you didn’t read my comments at all. I never said anything about not tipping at all outside of the circumstance where I never went to the restaurant to begin with. If I don’t go then the owner gets $0 and the server gets $0 since I didn’t use their service or purchase their product aka they both get 0%.

    The scenario you’re bringing up really has nothing to do with anything I’ve said this entire time.

      Ok, I’ll run it back for you. Give me a minute to edit this all together, I’m on mobile.

      You said:

      I mostly decrease eating out which is arguably worse because now they get a 0% tip. If enough people avoid establishments that abuse tipping then the problem will solve itself.

      To which I replied:

      But they don’t have to work for you for free of you don’t go

      As in while you’re giving them 0% tip, you’re also giving them 0% work to do, by not going to the establishment.

      The problem is those who give them 0% tip and 100% work to do.

        Sure but that wasn’t what I ever argued for. Doing work for no pay outside of a volunteer position or something like family is a bad situation no matter what.
