Comment on Anon doesn't tip

  That why they said they don’t go to restaurants with servers. Either go to a restaurant where you buy food at a counter and bus yourself, or go to a tipless resturant with servers. Obviously don’t just screw over the server.

  Though, on a large scale, if everyone just stopped tipping all at once, nobody would be willing to work for server wages anymore, and restaurants would have to increase pay or get fucked. Too bad our economy is based on fighting for survival, and not the profit motive, because the reality is that it would just fuck people’s lives up really bad.

    And I was agreeing, thus starting the comment with “that is the way,” which I’m assuming you missed.

    And sure, and I’m assuming you mean more than $7.25, but there’d be a lot of missed rent and power bills along the way until they catch up.

  What about dine and dash, while leaving a cash tip?

    9/10 chance that goes to cover part of your bill and the waiter gets fucked, but if you could guarantee they pocket it that’d work.

      Hmm, maybe slip it to them when asking for the bill?

        Sure, that might work, or give it to them up front (protip btw, you want GREAT service? Frontload that tip, your server will break the law for you if you do that lol).

        That’ll get them fired for looking like they conspired with you

    There’s a good chance the restaurant will take it all since they were “owed”.

    It’s not exactly legal, but a lot of places will charge the server for a done and dash.

      Hmm, what about fake checks? Surely there’s an angle here where the server isn’t punished, I don’t go to jail, and the restaurant takes a hit.
