    Thats one way of looking at it… but if everyone would stop tipping, they would be forced to pay them a living wage or go out of business when all the staff quit. Its actually in the consumers power to effect that change, but only on a mass scale. Unfortunately its an awkward social coercion tactic at play now, which just continues to perpetuate the problem pitting us against each other just as capitalism intends to.

      So we don’t need OSHA? We can just let construction workers quit if the contractors make them do dangerous stuff?

      Youre a bit oblivious to your privilege. People can’t just quit or yknow, they starve.
