Why American Tipping Culture Is Broken (yewtu.be)

We dug into how American tipping culture got so broken, and the fight to fix it.

It turns out that your tips are subsidizing the payrolls of multi-billion dollar chains, while they pay their workers under minimum wage.

It's a system rooted in slavery, and pushed by a wealthy restaurant owners onto the rest of us.

But there's a growing movement to change it.

Stop going to places that tip

You're just helping their boss steal income from the mouths of people forced to serve you for poverty wages. If you actually gave a shit you'd stop giving their oppressors money in the first place. But you don't. You want your treats.

The workers need to stand up to their employers. As long as you have waiters defending tipping culture with "But I make more money like this" it will not change
