I think you’re missing the fact that the bosses of the establishment aren’t paying their employees fair wages and thats the only reason the tip is needed. Im not paying 25% for shit service.

Your experiences are different. My friends who work for tips tell me they rely on that money. Losing those tips would have an immediate and real adverse impact on their health and safety.
People who make more in daily interest than the worker does from the shift , I don’t think have the moral high ground on tipping.

Sure, income and the economy should be different. The worker can’t pay for housing with idealism.

Have you ever worked for tips or been a close friend of someone who did?
You don’t work for tips. You work for a wage. And yes I worked years in the service industry and still have many friends in it.
