"If you don't want to support tipping culture, don't go somewhere that expects tips. But if you do happen to go somewhere that expects tips (regardless of how you end up going there) you absolutely must support tipping culture".
Now let me take your point into absurdity.
"If you don't want to support gun violence you shouldn't own a gun. But if you happen to own a gun you should do a mass shooting."
That's how your argument comes across to me. I have no issue with the first part of your argument, I do that. But I have an issue with the second part because that is defending tipping culture.
Stop lying and misrepresenting me. I am explicitly against tipping culture. Can you not read? Do I need to break this down further? Or can you stop with this disingenuous bullshit?
Which part of that statement was lying or misrepresenting? They're your words. The first part.
And the second part.
What are you not getting?
If you go somewhere that expects tips and don’t tip, you are still feeding the machine. You are still supporting the establishment. They have lost zero dollars because of you. The only person you screwed over is the person working there. So the only moral thing to do if you insist on going to a place that expects tips is to still tip. Otherwise you’re just a piece of shit.
You cannot say “I am against tipping culture“ simply because you refuse to tip. You cannot be a patron at these establishments. Full Stop. What do you not fucking get? Don’t support these places. Do not go there. Going there and refusing to tip is only hurting workers while still giving the business money.
I am not explaining this again. Stop telling me what I think. I am explicitly telling you. Stop lying. Stop misrepresenting me.
What are you not getting? Everything you've just brought up are things I've already covered. I'm done talking to a wall. Either read what I've said or stfu.
Suck my ass :)
