It would be nice if tipping was just gone, and everybody got paid a living wage, like in most of the rest of the world. We're in a Nash equilibrium right now where if you don't tip, you're an asshole. Other people might even tip more if they hear about it, which reinforces the status quo. So I keep tipping well, and disliking that we're stuck here.
How can we end tipping culture and just have everyone be paid a living wage?
I tip because I earn enough money to tip. We should all aim to be a little bit more like Robin Hood and a little bit less like Prince John. You know what I'm saying?
Take the wealth from the rich motherfuckers and give it to the poor bastards that the rich motherfuckers are getting rich off of.
