    The only way to get employers to change what they do is to get the employees and/or customers to make them change.

    Customers can sue, boycott, give them a PR black eye that investors won’t like, etc.

    Employees can unite, demand a fair wage, walk out, and/or form a union.

    Note that making up for an employer’s refusal to pay a fair wage is not in the customers’ “job description.”

    Unfortunately for the employees in tip-heavy industries it’s getting out of hand. Fuck employers making me pay ever larger tips so they don’t have to pay a fair wage and the associated taxes and benefits. It’s not moral outrage, it’s outrage at being fleeced at every turn so the people in charge can keep more money while fucking the rest of us.

    Grow some balls and start a union, stop whining about pay while taking the customers’ hard earned cash because it’s easy to shit on them instead of taking a stand against the boss man.

      You just stiffing a random employee is not going to change anything. I know you don’t believe it will. That’s preposterous.

      Grow some balls and start a union,

      Who’s shifting the burden on who now? Are you doing anything to help end tipping culture? And what’s with the needless emasculation?

          All I’m reading is a sad attempt to create moral highground where there is none. Once again, I know you aren’t so naive, so narrow-minded, as to believe that your not tipping someone is doing literally anything good. No way you believe it is helping to end tipping culture/improve wages. I know you don’t believe that.
