    If you can’t afford to live without tips, don’t volunteer to become a potential victim of a terrible system.

      If it wasn’t so depressing I might find it funny you think people work in bad environments because they want to.

      Minimum wage is not a livable wage, I shouldn’t have to tell you this. Your arrogance is genuinely disgusting.

        And I find the arrogance of telling people if they can’t afford to tip, they shouldn’t eat out disgusting. If you can afford it and are just being cheap, that’s one thing, but you don’t get to act all morally superior while being arrogant the other direction.

          If you can’t afford something you shouldn’t buy it. Just because you don’t agree with the system doesn’t mean you get to ignore it and then justify it by taking a moral high ground.

          You know the servers wages are dependent on tips and you choose not to pay them. THAT is the social contract. Whether you agree with it or not.

          If you cared about changing the system you’d take steps to change it without screwing the workers. You’re just being cheap.

            I tip. But there’s a difference between “I know the system is terrible, but I rely on tips and would really appreciate it if you’re able” and “Don’t go out if you can’t afford to tip.” The second is arrogant and condescending. Not being an asshole goes both ways.
