I'm an unrepentant non-tipper. I refuse to tip here in the
Washington Soviet where the insane minimum wage law means the lowest pay a
server, or anyone else will get... $17.13 per hour this year, and $17.73 next
year.
In some areas of the state, it's even more insane, with minimum wage in Seattle at $21.30 per hour, and Tukwila at $21.85 per hour.
What an employee makes is between them and their employer. Once I pay the check, or buy the tire, or pay anyone working for a business of any kind the bill, my responsibility/obligation is over, PARTICULARLY here where servers are horrifically overpaid as it is.
No one forces anyone to work for anything. If you don't like what the jobs pays where you work, you have the freedom to quit and go work somewhere else.
If you lack job skills that are in demand, then it's up to you to acquire those kills to make you more marketable.
But don't expect me to pick up the slack if you believe you're underpaid for the 5 minutes you spent taking my order and bringing that order to me, etc.
And remember, those of you coming at me for this decision get service from a variety of service workers YOU don't tip.
Tipping culture has become insane. Everything from self-service to drive throughs try to scam you for tips and I simply refuse to play.
