The only legitimate protest against tipping culture is to not frequent restaurants that do not pay their employees a living wage. Otherwise, you are financially supporting the system of passing the paying of wages to the consumer. Anything else is just window dressing trying to justify you being a cheap piece of shit that looks down on restaurant servers.

If you have had a hard day, week, life and you just need a day off call in. No excuses just do it. Your physical and mental health are far more important than your job.

I mean, guys, your working and health condition really suck. I've been grown in Western Europe (Italy), here we were not really touched by the American dream. Our nation is surely americanized but there are plenty of things we would not accept (ie being fired for no reason or not having free healthcare). Surely Italy isn't the best country in the world. We have plenty of problems too, starting from relatively low-wages (although our percentage of working poor is lower than the US), insane waiting time for routine medical controls (not really free but not costly) and relatively spreaded corruption.

I (21M, living in England) called my manager and said due to the conflict I cannot come in. I get anxious easily and world affairs always trouble me. My managers response when I told him? That if i'm not sick or don't need parental or dependant leave, it's not a valid reason, and he was kind of laughing alittle i'm sure I heard it, as he said it?
