Tipped workers seem to get incredibly offended if you suggest that tipping is immoral cause restaurant owners should pay their workers a living wage without having to depend on tips.
I think a lot workers assume that if you
complain about tipping, it suggests that you don’t tip and that you don’t wanna tip in general.
The point people are trying to make isn’t that we shouldn’t have to tip, it’s that employers should pay their workers more, AS WELL as us willingly giving tips. Not either or. If employers start paying waiters more, I will gladly keep tipping cause restaurant workers are giving a personalized service.
So I will support the movement to give restaurant workers a higher wage and I will keep tipping even if their pay increases.
