  • By not tipping in the us, you are allowing the underpaid worker to continue being ripped off by their cheapskate manager... always tip when the server earns it.

    • No, it's because everyone continues to tip that this underpaying of staff can continue. If everyone decided to stop tipping, then the entire country's waiter staff would have to go on strike, which would lead to legislation forcing managers to actually pay them a full wage.

      • Thats how it should happen, but somehow I feel that the small business owners will spin it and cry "Serving staff ruined the restaurant industry".

        • Maybe but I don't think they'd fool many people with that. Most people know someone who's a waiter or bartender and would feel sorry for them how they rely on tips to live, and how they have no guaranteed financial security from their job. Plus other countries' restaurant industries aren't ruined so the strikes can also point to that.
