You are taking what I said a bit too literally, which to be fair I could have phrased it better, when I said that what I meant was let the employees know how much they are being screwed over, or boycott the business, etc. It’s not for normal people to pay a living wage, but not tipping only, and I do mean ONLY, punishes the employee. Not only do they not get to pay the rent this month but they either feel like they are bad at their job or that you are an asshole. Very rarely do they blame their employer even when they should.
