Tipping doesn’t enable the practice, but not tipping does negatively impact the people who are being taken advantage of by the system.
If enough people were willing to stop tipping to end the practice by ruining the lives of waitstaff by cutting off their source of income there would be enough people to push for laws to pay a fair wage without needing to cause the problem in the first place.
Funny how in the dozens of conversations I’ve read on this subject, the people receiving the tips aren’t the ones bitching about tips.
I worked at a payroll firm and many of those folks are making more than a “fair wage”.
But the system MAN! Apparently servers are loving the system. Because they’re absolutely silent in these threads. If you had your way, they would make less money. But I guess you could be satisfied that you brought “the man” down low. Worker solidarity, right?
