As much as I agree on principle, its also pretty detestably asinine to travel to another country and take a stand on their social system by punishing the random employee that served you a meal
Do you think the restauranteur who doesnt pay an adequate wage gives a fuck if you tip their employee? They arent negatively affected at all. If they really wanted to make a point that impacted the person with some control they could just eat somewhere else that paid people fairly. Instead, theyre being assholes to some random person trying to survive living in Kansas City or wherever on a $10 an hour wage in this economy. Thats a dick move, plain and simple
I’m afraid you are the wrong one here. Do you think managers stop underpaying if all the people continue tipping? And stepping up is exactly what to do. And furthermore: Stop visiting these restaurants.

They do, actually. Many of them have started putting a mandatory 20% tip on the bill to pay to employees.

you often only find out after already having eaten what you ordered
Not tipping isn’t a punishment. A tip is a bonus. Americans should probably stop being insufferable cucks.
Point is, you are punishing the victims of the system, not the perpetrators.
Point is, there is simply no bonus for simply getting the job done. There is no punishment. Get out of your bubble
Aren’t the employers the ones punishing the servers? Again, why is the customer being framed as the perpetrator for refusing to pay a literal optional fee? For refusing to enable an abusive business practice?
Nah let’s let some other countries do some cultural imperialism for a change. We’ve had our turn.
I get your point, but even for US citizens I support taking a stand against the tipping system.
It’s still good to make a point of respecting their local customs when you visit
Ah yes. Tipping: the cultural cornerstone of US.
What local customs, they took all customs from everywhere and perverted them totally in the spirit of capitalism. Tipping exist in Europe, but AS a bonus for excellent work, not for the bare minimum
