        An individual not tipping has no impact on the status quo because the system doesn’t care about the reason people don’t tip.

        A large number of people choosing not to purchase goods and services from businesses that rely on tipping could possibly have an impact, although it would probably be easier to get the laws changed than organize that many people.

          People “organize” naturally. Theres already wide negative sentiment around tipping and especially the new places tips are asked for. We also don’t fix things until they break, so preventing it from breaking is counterproductive.

            We are not talking about those places. They can fuck off and I don’t tip there.

            We are talking about wait staff who get the exceptionally low base pay where the majority of their income is expected to be from tips.
