The tipping system sucks, but short of passing some laws mandating a livable wage WITHOUT tips, going out now and not tipping for a full service dining experience is absolutely a bad move.

Basically you’re advocating for customers to screw over the wait staff since, as you clearly point out, the owners aren’t on the hook for the tip income.

They are advocating for not supporting a broken system so it can be replaced with a better one.

How long do you think that wait staff will stay in the restaurants where their wage consists of tipping which doesn't exist?
