That’s outrageous. If everyone did this there would be no waiters or waitresses. They only get like 3:0 0 dollars an hour because tips are to make the differences up to par. Wow! If you do not want to pay for waitress go to McDonald’s or like.
Why do you think it is the responsibility of the customer to pay the waitress/waiter staff's wages? The responsibility lies with the owner of the establishments and tipping should be at the discretion of the customer. If the wait staff want more money they should petition their bosses for higher wages or refuse to work at any restaurant that pays sub standard wages.
I very rarely tip. I hate tipping, I pay for a meal and expect the wages of the staff to be included in that price. If owners would increase their prices and pay their wait staff a decent wage we could do away with the outright thievery of tipping, just another way to steal your money.
I worked for a living since the age of about 15 and not one customer of the businesses I worked for(mainly lumber industry)ever paid me or any of my co-workers a tip. Tips are simply BS and people who tip and brag about it, and bad mouth non tippers, are idiots and self righteous prigs.
Calex(IQ)59’s reply to your post was one of the best examples of “three fingers pointing back” that I’ve ever seen on FR or anywhere else. Thankfully, I only know a couple people just like him; they’re friendless, angry, narcissists, and self important. He thinks he impresses people around him and looks down on others and likely has little self-awareness or awareness others - or of what they think of him. He needs your prayers, I’m certain.
