By not tipping, the poster is doing something about the system. If you make less money as a driver because people are not tipping, you're going to either go to another service or stop delivering altogether. That's a slow change, and some drivers will be adversely affected by it, but just because a solution isn't instant and affects parties not directly at blame doesn't mean it's not a solution.
- mike_h 6y agoIt’s not a solution because a critical mass of consumers aren’t going to boycott tipping in the absence of a massive and effective collective action. Organize this movement, give workers fair warning before acting, and then act – and then you can say you were being honest and principled. Stiff an individual worker as a grumpy, self-righteous individual consumer, and all you are doing is exploiting a tacit agreement and risking someone’s ability to pay their bills. Someone who doesn’t have that many options for employment, otherwise they wouldn’t be working in such a risky arrangement to begin with.
