    Especially because a lot of people in this thread seem to protest the tipping system by just not tipping. That only hurts the worker, y’all. It isn’t gonna change the system.

      If nobody tipped the restaurants would have to pay their service staff or they would have no employees.

      In most of the world tipping is optional or tops out at 15% as a reward for exceptional service. They get paid to do their job since the cost of food already has the cost of service in there.

      Part of the reason it shard to change the system is because of resistance from the waiters who make a lot of money from tips, so yes, not tipping does help change the system.
