If you still frequent an establishment that does this, you’re the problem
Do you know what sucks about there being SOOOOOO many people? It’s that there’s always a certain percentage that are morons and they still go for shit like this, ruining it for everyone else.
It’s an interesting spin on the tragedy of the commons. There’s no public or shared resources here, but the few are still ruining it for the many.
The tragedy of the commons is all capitalist nonsense from the 60s anyway. People are quite good at balancing resources within their communities, and sharing spaces and resources makes everyone’s experiences better. It’s only with the “profit at others expense” capitalist mindset that the cooperative model falls apart.

The few will always ruin it for the many where capitalism is involved. It’s inevitable.
But it’s not the few you think it is. It’s not normal people just trying to get by, it’s the people who set it up this way in the first place. They know not everyone will stop. It’s squarely on them.
That appears to be an opinion piece based on anecdotal evidence, which, while the original claim is not based on science either, does not provide adequate evidence to dismiss it as “capitalist nonsense”.
It is merely another claim in the opposite direction. They are equally valid takes, but one does not refute the other.
Bingo!
