Not tipping isn't a punishment. A tip is a bonus. Americans should probably stop being insufferable cucks.

Nah let’s let some other countries do some cultural imperialism for a change. We’ve had our turn.

I'm afraid you are the wrong one here. Do you think managers stop underpaying if all the people continue tipping? And stepping up is exactly what to do. And furthermore: Stop visiting these restaurants.

I get your point, but even for US citizens I support taking a stand against the tipping system.

If they really wanted to make a point that impacted the person with some control they could just eat somewhere else that paid people fairly.

you often only find out after already having eaten what you ordered

Do you think the restauranteur who doesnt pay an adequate wage gives a fuck if you tip their employee?

They do, actually. Many of them have started putting a mandatory 20% tip on the bill to pay to employees.

What local customs, they took all customs from everywhere and perverted them totally in the spirit of capitalism. Tipping exist in Europe, but AS a bonus for excellent work, not for the bare minimum

Ah yes. Tipping: the cultural cornerstone of US.
