I'm 100% for not tipping in USA. But the bastards that own the restaurants and company's won't pay these people what they deserve. Time for nationwide strike in the restaurant/food delivery industry imo.

That will never happen, because the truth is that these folks do make more from tips than they would from any sort of overall wage increase. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, tip-receiving workers tend to favor the tipping system in my experience.
Then fuck tipping because it's a non legal added tax on my food. How about that?
then don't order out?
It should be: Let's pay people proper wages instead of tipping.
yes but the way it stands right now, tips are still important right? until you get to a decent baseline minimum wage, workers will need tips to sustain themselves. is the new wage enough for sustenance in NY?
The way it stands right now, where base wages are not sufficient, is specifically because of tipping. Until people stop tipping, employers will continue to use it to subsidize wages that they should be paying. Whereas if people stopped tipping, the employers could not do that.
Accelerationism 😒
Bit of both.. it's a choice between that or acceptance.
Or you could just refuse to use those services!
There's no need to make someone your slave and then refuse to tip. Just do your own fucking groceries lol
