    Or you should stop visiting restaurants that ask for tips entirely.

    It’s not like the waiter is doing the majority of the work for your meal when you sit down.

      Ah yes the solution to tips is boycotting my favorite restaurants, that will show them that I don’t want to tip!

      “You have my favorite food and great service, but I would rather you just raise your prices and pay your staff more.”

      Yep that’s what they would see from my boycott

      The waitresses and waiters and everyone can’t survive without tips, so let’s just give them no business and no tips!

      It’s the idea of the Applebee’s 10 dollar meal that’s actually 12 dollars. What business wouldn’t want to give their employees top dollar and have to advertise higher prices? It’s a win-win for the business. They aren’t going to change until forced or highly encouraged.

      Getting rid of “Tip wages” would be the solution

      No one should be required to rely on tips as income

      It should be known no one is required to rely on tips as income

      Then we can all stop with the tips
