Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against tipping if the person did a good job, but a company trying to guilt trip me into giving them a mandatory tip? Nah, that’s bullshit, it’s essentially “Oh, we can’t pay our employees enough, would you mind helping 🥺”. Outta here with that.
You don’t get it, I think? The point is to get the workers to quit or protest because they don’t get paid enough, so that the place can increase the prices instead so they can pay their workers. If the place is still providing a nice service or good food or whatever it may be, you don’t want it to go out of business. Just make a worker-positive change.
I’m trying to help the establishment, by changing their ways. Not by bankrupting them. And if they just keep changing waiters, surely the quality of service will go down and Darwin takes care of the rest.
I can not. Can you give an example of boycotting a business causing that business to raise prices to pay their employees a living wage? If so, I guess let’s go with your thing.

Right,so don’t use those businesses. You give them no reason to do anything differently.
All you are doing is helping to maintain the status quo.
I would not, that’s… what I’m trying to imply here… Yeah, businesses who don’t pay their employees enough bad.

It takes everyone to fix these issues. It is not a one-sided job. Every time you give these establishments money, you help them.
And there is no shortage of replacement waiters out there for the ones who quit.

Can you give an example of this “I give them money and expect their employees to quit unless they get paid better” strategy working in the past?
Don’t you think people boycott for a reason?

Cool, I guess that’s the only solution then. 🤷♂️
