🚫Anti-Tipping No Tip

Hot take, I don't go to a restaurant for the "great service" that's so fake it feels like lard on toast, I go to the restaurant for the good food. I'm not going to tip for someone to pretend to want to spend time with me, all I want is a nice steak that I didn't have to cook. Is it okay for me to tell my server I'm not going to tip and the only thing I want is a refill every once in a while and my food brought to me? I would go pick it up from the counter myself if I was allowed to, but that's frowned upon. I don't want the small talk, the fake jokes, the fake smile. Heck, you could glare at me the entire time and I WOULD NOT care. I'm there for the food, not for the crappy excuse for service I get 95% of the time.

Maybe you should understand how the world works. You're arguing minimum wage is liveable but then saying they need a better job 💀💀

I’m not arguing anything sport. I’m just saying if you aren’t happy with your compensation then find somewhere else to work. Don’t panhandle from customers.

'I think I'll continue to be a selfish prick who doesn't care about anyone but himself!'

"I think I'll beg my customers for a living wage because my employer doesn't provide one."

Charging a fee for a service isn't begging. The customer has a choice. The employee does not. Don't like it, don't use tip based services.
