I think I'm in the smallest minority, but I haven't tipped in close to a decade. When people ask me why, I answer with the question "when was the last time you tipped your grocer l, fast food window attendant or the person at the hardware store that brought out your 100lbs of lumber? " answer is always never and I say exactly.
Are you going to like sit down restaurants in America though?... cuz those people make around $3 an hour most places with no benefits. I don't approve of the system but please don't go to a fine dining establishment and stiff the waiter. It's fucked up.
They make minimum wage, if you make more than minimum with tips you make $3 or whatever plus your tips, if you don't get any tips your employer covers the difference.
While this is absolutely correct, it should be noted that if you don't make enough in tips you're probably going to get fired and replaced, haha
