    No, if you stop tipping the servers just get paid less and the owners feel nothing for not paying them a fair wage. If you really want to make a change, don’t eat out any place that makes you tip, if you have ever seen a tip jar or a tip screen, don’t go there. That is how you vote with your wallet, you don’t make the workers subsidize your food and not tip.

      I can choose to not eat somewhere and make a statement, or i can choose to eat someone and make a statement and get subsidies for doing so.

      Which do you think I’ll choose?

        That will only happen when we stop tipping

        Don’t tip, but also don’t think your not tipping is going to change anything except that the people who work as servers who might have liked now think you are an a-hole. I am sure you don’t care about this either, also fine, you don’t have to care about any other person, place or thing, the world will go on.

          And you can keep the system in place by being a part is it, and knowing your tip helped an underpaid worker for that day, while many fail to make a living wage and employers continue to profit. At least you feel better for that day.
