      I like tipping. The service is better, and servers are paid more than they would be without it.

      Stop tipping culture. If you just stop tipping people who rely on tips, you just make their lives much harder

          Try to avoid services that rely on tipping? Don’t go to restaurants or order food delivery where you’re expected to tip.

          I understand it’s not an easy thing to fix, and I sure as hell dont have the solution, but not tipping someone who is relying on tips is just a dick move

            Part of the problem is that it’s considered the customer’s responsibility. The real dick move is on the employer not paying a decent wage.

          give the tip directly to the worker, and also hand them a pamphlet about organizing a union at the workplace

          Don’t use tipped services if you’re not going to tip. There are alternatives. You’re offloading your “political action” at the expense of the worker, while the owners won’t care. Support legislative change, don’t use your politics as an excuse to harm the workers of a service you chose to use.

        It probably won’t stop until everybody starts asking for tips, so that those that traditionally receive tips are losing it on tipping everybody else.
