Because that’s what they’re doing. All you’re doing if you refuse to tip is taking money out of a fellow working class person’s pocket. https://epionline.org/oped/is-it-time-to-end-tipping-no-servers-will-lose-money-and-service-will-suffer/

minus-squareTheAlbacor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoWage theft is the largest type of crime in the US. A huge amount of employers are abusive, not all of them have workers at tipping wages. Maybe instead of taking money out of another working-class person’s pocket, we need to actually have some class solidarity. If you don’t want a tip, don’t eat there. But eating in a place like that and refusing to tip is just hurting other working people.
