    Tipped workers represent 5 million+ workers in the US. While yes, ending tipping is important, probably better ways like raising minimum wages and getting rid of ‘tipped wages’ would work to end tipping rather than just telling 5 million people they need to find different work.

    But if you talk to the majority of tipped workers, they don’t want to change the system, which is likely a far larger hurdle compared to diner preferences.

      Sure, that would be better for everyone. But it is also fiction that will never come true. So … back to stop tipping for me

        I mean, it’s not fiction if we all want things to change. I don’t think I will stop tipping those who can’t afford to not be tipped, but you do you. I’d say the better solution for someone like yourself is to stop going to those places to begin with if you are that against ‘tipping’.
