It’s really sad to me that Americans get put in the awful position of choosing between tipping, which supports the low wages, and taking responsibility for ensuring another human being has a living wage. It’s just such a terrible position for a consumer to be placed in, having to make ethical and moral choices about how much money to pay for goods and services.
My rule is that I only tip for table service, where it’s already factored into the servers’ wages.
I refuse to enable even more companies to shirk the responsibility of paying their employees a fair wage.
