    if you’re utilizing a service that pays subminimum wage conditional on tips making up the difference, then yes, it’s not rude. it’s straight up evil.

    if you have a moral objection to tipping, then dont use services that pay workers subminimum wage

        you’re right, im wrong. next time i see someone busking im gonna take his tip cup and tell him what you just said. if he asks “why are you denying me my money that i worked for” ill just tell him “im not evil its just the system that makes you homeless”

          If it makes you feel better you can say that but it’s not going to change the actual world around you. I don’t tip. It’s because my government is not hyper capitalist. I would move away from a hyper capitalist society, or demand policy with my entire work. I would not participate.

            well dude you’re not in a position to be using the services that require tipping. why not lead with that? I don’t flick the queen’s bean either but not because i turn down the opportunity.

            if you’re in the system, it’s a different story. have a good day outsider. “i would just move” lmao
