Because by patronizing the business and not tipping, you agree that the company paying an unfair wage is fine with you.

That's worse.

But if everyone did it, people wouldn’t be able to afford to work there. There would be no staff and the business would be forced to increase their pay to retain labour, or shut their doors.

Edit for typos.

"Having the mass majority of the population trapped in jobs that pay just enough that they put up with it, while giving away all their time and energy to a corporation is exactly why the average person has no power. They’ve had the will drive to force real change sucked out of them." You can't be real with a 180 from this comment lmao.

If they pay just enough, with tips, then what is it without tips? Not enough. Statistically, more people would move to another just that put y back into ‘just enough’ category.

I don’t see that as 180 at all.

That's a great argument against patronizing the business.
