  I think it is the case of “you think in the right direction, but you don’t do it all the way, so now I’m gonna attack you over this until you stop doing anything”.

  Not paying tips is a good start.

    Can you give an example of that ever working? Because boycotts sure as fuck work.

    Rewarding the employer for underpaying the employees is not, in any way, the right direction, though? Not tipping is just telling the employees “I don’t care if you get paid, so long as I get what I want”

    How? Those people just aren’t going to get the money. Its not like the company is going to pay them extra because you didnt tip. Theyve already decided that the wage will be low Your logic doesn’t really make sense

  You don’t get it, I think? The point is to get the workers to quit because they don’t get paid enough, so that the place can increase the prices instead so they can pay their workers. If the place is still providing a nice service or good food or whatever it may be, you don’t want it to go out of business. Just make a worker-positive change.

    It takes everyone to fix these issues. It is not a one-sided job. Every time you give these establishments money, you help them.

    And there is no shortage of replacement waiters out there for the ones who quit.

      I’m trying to help the establishment, by changing their ways. Not by bankrupting them. And if they just keep changing waiters, surely the quality of service will go down and Darwin takes care of the rest.

        Can you give an example of this “I give them money and expect their employees to quit unless they get paid better” strategy working in the past?

        Don’t you think people boycott for a reason?

    Most people won’t quit, especially in the US from what I know. If they are already underpaid, how can they quit? And if pretty much every place treats waiters the same, what choice do they have?

      They won’t have a choice but to quit if we all boycott the business either.

  I would not, that’s… what I’m trying to imply here… Yeah, businesses who don’t pay their employees enough bad.
