But here’s the thing, it ain’t the owners’ problem either. They’re winning.

Agitate the rest of the day. Tip at mealtime.

The owners are the bad actors here. They enjoy increased margins in an environment where additional salary top ups are somehow the customer’s problem.

The owners are the bad actors but the only person getting screwed when you don’t tip is the server.
Don’t want to tip, don’t eat out. It’s pretty simple.
