It's go and don't tip or stay at home or else take part in a shit system. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] blazera@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) No, see if you go and dont tip, you're still taking part in the shit system, just with a side of hurtin workers.

This should be a discussion between employees and their employers. Not customers and employees. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago If the waiter is only making minimum wage in the U.S., considering what minimum wage is, that makes me feel sorry for them and even more inclined to give them a tip, because no one should have to survive on minimum wage. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago* Thing people forget is that the employer will just fire the employee for "lack of performance" or some bullshit. There are virtually no worker protections in the US, and, as consumers, we need to stop feeding the greedy beasts that run restaurants.
