Then don’t go to the restaurant. Y’all are the biggest fucking hipocrits. Give this guy business but cheap out on the person waiting on you. Pretend it’s on principle but it’s really that you are enormously cheap.
I’m sorry but Europeans are easily the cheapest people on the planet. Stop pretending it’s a protest. You just will take every opportunity to save a penny.
Oh, OK. So, are you boycotting restaurants that pay the tipped minimum wage? Trying to get ballot measures to end the tipped minimum wage approved? Lobbying against the National Restaurant Association for their support of the tipped minimum wage? Or are you just denying exploited workers income and pretending your taking a stand?
Yes. And if Europeans are going to come here and willfully act like asses in our restaurants, I don’t want to hear them piss and moan about obnoxious American tourists anymore.
As long as you’ve made it clear that it’s up to the tourists to pick which ones they want to continue.
I don’t support tipping culture either, but a) I am not going to punish one waitress in particular, and b) I am not so entitled to think I can just go to a place and choose some customary things to ignore.
Not tipping underpaid workers when that’s the established system, like it or not, just takes the exploitation done by the employer, and puts it on the customer. Now the CUSTOMER is the one exploiting the worker, because they know they are getting their food cheaper, simply because they are stiffing the server. The server’s tip is supplementing their dinner costs.
At least be honest about it. You aren’t paying the tip not because you object - it’s just the actual cost of the food, it just contains this weird cultural invisible fee - you just see it as a handy excuse to stiff a hard-working server out of their money. All these rich Europeans come here with plenty of money, they flood the restaurants and pubs, and spend a fortune, which makes the restaurant owners rich, and makes the workers work even harder, for even less.
And then the rich Europeans can go home, and brag about how they taught those evil Americans a lesson about their immoral tipping culture. Meanwhile, the restaurant owners are counting their World Cup profits, while the servers are wondering how they’re going to pay their rent after working twice as hard for half as much.
Exploiting workers is not a “cultural norm” I want to continue.

I don’t go to restaurants unless I’m prepared to pay tip.

Yes, all those
Then this isn’t directed at you, and it’s weird tp jump in to defend tourists who are denying exploited workers income.
Why? We go to Europe and act like asses all the time

One of my super powers is not caring what other people think.
Whoa we got bit by the same reddit user.

Sure taught those Americans a lesson, huh?
Almost encourages someone to rise up.
yes, i’m sure being a shitty customer for a couple weeks will totally change the trajectory of the american economic/ political system.
Ah, but if we were ALL shitty customers
