If you don't like the tip economy, then don't participate in it by avoiding restaurants that underpay their employees. But don't take it out on the employee, they're already the victim, and the restaurant owner doesn't care about your protest.

If anything, tip your server in cash, then run out on the bill.

Unfortunately righteous causes don't pay the bills.

This is obviously a picture of a Euro Cup fan...

I'm surprised europeans even go to USA... with ICE arresting anyone who looks at them funny...

Also - I think people should do what they want in this specific matter. USA is supposedly "land of the free" so as long as there is no official government-mandated tip amount, tipping 0$ is as good as any tip amount. Tipping is as much of a cultural thing as the tax level, that is - none.

That'll show those service workers for working in the US.

Don't get me wrong I fucking hate tipping culture so much and am eternally grateful that I don't live in the US but who are you really punishing here?

In the current system it will not change unless it is forced by things like this or progressive policies. You want them to just keep it going how it is?

World cup is too short term to change it, will have to be slow policy push for minimum wages.

I never before thought about FIFA bringing attention to social issues but think about it, the book the spotlight on Qatar, and now the United States, they should probably go to North Korea next.
