    Maybe the problem with tipping is that corporations are able to play chicken with the consumer.

    Who’s willing to let the worker starve? The consumers are definitely more empathetic

      Corpos and their willingness to weaponize empathy is pretty fucking evil.

      How many restaurant owners do you know that would increase wages simply because the daily tip rate was falling?

      Empathizing with one’s working peers is central to emergent class consciousness. Tip your waiters today. Don’t cross that picket line tomorrow. General strike the day after.
