I'm not tipping my Lyft drivers (barring extraordinary service the likes of which I have yet to see).
I'm not tipping the guy (usually it's a male) that brings my suitcases up at the hotel. His job is pretty damn easy anyway.
I'm sure as fuck not tipping wait staff at restaurants.
And although I hardly do this now, I'm not tipping at places like Sbux that have the nerve to place a tip jar at the counter. Uh, thanks for this breakfast sandwich with raw bacon but no fucking way.
There are too many negatives to list but some of the top ones for me:
It distorts the labor market
I have no fucking idea how much my salmon dinner will cost me after accounting for taxes and tips. On the menu they should just put "$29.95(lol)"
The outcome of tipping is racist both ways. (Servers of color get lower tips even after accounting for quality of service. I get shitty service for being a young black male even though heretofore I've tipped every time but once for exceptionally terrible service. I'll give them what they want now though.)
It's a cudgel that shitty patrons use against wait staff.
I'm fucking done. I'm embarrassed to have even been a participant in the sick system that is tipping in America but all that shit ends today.
Anyway, how's everyone's Monday coming along?
