What is going on with the comments here? Tipping is great for the worker. It allows me to sell my labor directly to consumers without the ownership class taking a cut as middleman.

Frankly, I have to reemphasize what the author said: Not tipping changes nothing for the owner; it only exploits the laborer.

Yes, I tip baristi, delivery drivers, and fast food workers. And daycare teaxhers, and my garbage-pickers too.

Nemo ,

I’m only mad at those who are trying to disrupt the system that lets me support a family of five on one income. There is ONE industry that’s figured out a way to make a living wage work for everybody and I think that’s worth defending.

Getting rid of tipping would mean higher prices for the consumer, worse service, lower pay for workers, and for what? Because the owners “should” be paying? Worse outcomes for the sake of an ideological nitpic.
