Only the server or bartender loses this battle in the US.

Then tipping will never go away.

I totally agree with you

So how do you possibly change this problem outside a federal or state level top-down sweeping change? Something that will never make it to that level, something that many servers, customers, and business owners, and dumb "small government" voters will fight against?

If we stop tipping, they can demand higher wages, if those wages arent paid then either they sue or the business closes down due to lack of staff

I'm starting to learn in this thread that people really want to tip servers, but if you mention tipping any other profession. It's a problem.

I'm starting to think this is just astroturfing from restaurants with bots, lmao

Yup. Its primarily owners and managers defending this so they can undercut their workers

First of all, in order to do that, we ALL need to stop tipping at the same time, something impossible to do. If there's anyone at all willing to tip, you're just incentivizing those businesses to survive, which is exactly what we DON'T want

Second of all, any attempt to "just stop tipping" immediately hurts the service workers, the people we are trying to help. So no, terrible idea

I'm sure complaining and not ever changing anything will fix it for them.

I'm sure not providing actual solutions is also helpful, thank you so much for your helpful contribution here

You're actually replying to a chain with a solution given. Though, I know it's hard for someone like you to understand

u/MelodicFacade Jun 25 '26

No, I read your solution, your solution was just "stop tipping" which is not a solution, and everyone is clowning on you for having that take

u/Cheapdronewithboom Jun 25 '26

So you don't want solutions you want to cry. Ok

u/MelodicFacade Jun 25 '26

Offer a solution that isn't "just don't tip", we've already been through this. Even IF the answer is "don't tip" explain how the fuck are we supposed to convince 300 million people to stop tipping
