I don't tip. Why should I tip the person who brings food to my table, but not the chef? I don't tip retail workers, fast food workers, or my delivery guy, so why am I expected to tip at a restaurant?
White knights will screech that wait staff can legally be paid less than minimum wage. So what? Take another job if that's such a problem. The REAL reason we're expected to tip wait staff is that they're mostly young women. Fuck off, it's not my problem, pay them a decent wage.
Escorts give WAY better service than waitresses but they come with an agreed price up front. If I don't have to tip a woman for pounding her in every hole, why should I tip her for moving some plates around?
The final argument I'd like to address is the "it's the only job many single mothers can get". If a MAN was in that position no one would care. "Hey bro truck driver is the only job I can get, give me an extra fifty for delivery of the pallet." His feet wouldn't touch the fucking ground on the way out.
Tips are a semi-forced transfer of money from men to women. Ideally stop tipping completely, practically stop tipping anywhere that you're not a regular.
