the sentiment was that it’s not lining the pockets of the business owner, which is true.

You have a lot of trust in these owners for one… They steal from workers regularly

But even if assume they are not outright stealing.

I ain’t fucking tipping back of the house. Parasites turned tipping into full blown wahe subsidies for their shiti operations and I got a problem with that.

Hence I why I tip cash. Fuck the owner. It is not my obligation to pay for his staff while having zero input on how staffing is being done.

So, any tip that doesn’t go to the server is theft imho

I don’t understand why the normie is so willing to accept these clown schemes
