So your saying we should reward the buisness for their poor practice by giving them our money and then protest the practice of tipping by not giving the low wage worker any?
It’s not up to the customer to directly pay the wages of restaurant employees, period. No one is ever “owed” a tip. The food service industry convinces their employees otherwise, and the result is employees blaming customers for the wage theft that the employer is committing. Blaming customers for not tipping is misguided.
Okay. We’re past this point in the debate. No, it SHOULDN’T be the customer’s responsibility, but that’s exactly what it becomes when you justify your nice night out off of the underpaid labor of someone who is just trying to pay their bills. Restaurant owners laugh all the way to the bank reading these threads because they’re the ones profiting off of your disdain for a low income worker.

No, no one is saying anything like that, I think they made a pretty clear statement
