Yeah. As an individual, if you stop tipping, a large chunk of (North American) society will think you’re a cheap asshole who’s disrespecting your server and won’t care that you’re taking a stance against a larger issue.
There’s nothing wrong with ignoring those people. But I think the average person cares much more about social norms and being judged by others than the people suggesting to just stop tipping.
- dheera 4y agoFor me personally though it's less about being judged (the shaming part) than it is about whether or not what I'm doing is actually causing change to happen. If there isn't critical mass, the owners won't change anything, and it unfortunately does end up punishing the servers instead of the owners.
- autoexec 4y ago> society will think you’re a cheap asshole who’s disrespecting your server Tipping in a restaurant where someone is waiting on you is different but, I have zero problems with refusing to tip at the register in retail stores, or for carry out orders at restaurants. I think we can collectively decide against that without fear of being ostracized by society. There's no "norm" right now that says I have to tip someone for a retail transaction, but there is pressure being put on us to normalize it so that businesses can save on labor expenses. Just say no.
