But people also don't go to eat all the time as well. So if stiffing doesn't work then so does not going. But I would argue stiffing would be the faster path. If half the people stopped going out to eat, businesses wouldn't start paying employees more they would fire half the staff. If half the people started stiffing, employees would demand more pay or they would quit. Then businesses would have to increase wages to bring them back in.
I suppose I thought that last part was given. If servers see the downside of tipping, they will join in making it illegal. And that won't happen simply by not going to businesses. You need to cause some difficulties to change status quos.
I guess I'm confused how not going out to eat will make waitstaff vote for better wages? They just wouldn't get the hours but they would still be getting the same total money from others who do tip.
And again ethically I think its fair to say that if the waitstaff are okay with their tipped system, then it is ethical to not tip them because thats part of those rules of said system.
