      Cool. So you get to look like a dick and actively make someone’s life more difficult. You not tipping doesn’t change the employers mind. It just makes someone else’s life worse. Congrats.

          What are you talking about? Servers rarely if ever get minimum wage, which federally is still 7.25, which is not enough to live off of. If they were making $23 in many places they’d be doing a lot better. But that’s not the reality of the situation.

            He’s an Austrailian pretending a thread about American tipping culture applies to him at all. I guess the min wage in the brush is $23, and he therefore assumes that is the case worldwide because idk egocentrism (thanks Piaget!).

              I just said I don’t tip, and why. GP assumed I was in USA and cruel. I never assumed USA tipping culture applies to me. That’s why I don’t tip.

                Of course, that is an incredibly reasonable assumption for one to make in a thread about tipping culture, which is primarily American since it came from American prohibition.

            They’re still entitled to minimum wage if they don’t get enough tips, so there should be no issue for customers to not tip.
