    Until we end tipping culture, tip your servers.

    If everyone continues to tip by default, then I believe this will delay or prevent an end to the culture. If servers don’t have an issue with tipping (because everyone does so), then there is less reason to support change.

    If one person doesn’t tip:

    You’re just an asshole.

    If a large majority doesn’t tip:

    Maybe there is a problem with tipping by default?

      That’s not how anything works. If you want change, you need to vote for it. You’re not going to change the entire economic structure of the whole restaurant industry by being a selfish asshole. You’re just punishing the people who handle your food and making life harder for everyone.

          I don’t know where you live, but start local. And in the meantime, stop going to restaurants.

        It definitely does not work in an environment where lazy aggressive apatheists will support a system they don’t like by claiming it can’t be changed.
