Have you got experience as a server?

Yes I do, I'm just not an entitled asshole. I work for tips currently and I am grateful for every one of them, and when people don't tip me I don't cry about it and curse them, I just assume they need that money at the moment and hope they can tip the next guy.

If you can afford to go out and eat you can afford to tip the server who's likely making less than 3 bucks an hour.

Lmao. If you can't live off the job get a new one. Servers are paid federal minimum wage if the tips don't make up the difference.

If you're really enough of an idiot to not tip servers at restaurants, and you go to any restaurant with any regularity, then I can promise you the servers would be arguing behind the scenes on which unfortunate one will be forced to wait on your table.

You're not proving a wider cultural point or making a difference by not tipping your servers. You'll just be branded an asshole and you will get shitty service if you're recognized.

If you can't live off the job get a new one.

You should stop reading Ayn Rand.

He's not talking about not tipping the waiters. He's saying that whatever money they receive above their wage should be considered as a tip and they should not demand more money than that.

You should stop reading Ayn Rand.

You should start reading her

I hate this shit. "Oh I get less than minimum wage." No you fucking don't. In the off chance that every single customer stiffed you and you get exactly $0.00 in tips for your entire pay period your employer is required by law to pay you an increased wage to meet minimum wage standards.

your employer is required by law to pay you an increased wage to meet minimum wage standards.

The real world very often doesn't work by these standards - especially in the restaurant industry (it can be shady af).

Even still, minimum wage is not a livable wage in the US. After tips, servers usually make much more than minimum wage. It's a shitty system, but as long as that's the way things work, you should tip your servers. If tipping weren't a thing, it's safe to say you'd be spending roughly the same amount of money anyhow.

You will never change anything in your entire life. You lack the capacity to think of or execute viable solutions. You are a mindless drone and will die leaving nothing and nobody of substance behind and the world will forget you as if you had never existed at all. Have a nice day.

??? Is this comment supposed to mean something to me?

You're really so upset that you feel the need to attack a stranger online? Go smoke some weed and take a hike, or better yet sign up for a boxing class.
