Tipping is controversial on Reddit because there are tons of euros and euroboos who think it’s a barbaric us-only custom. You can easily tie in multiple angles to maximize redditor rage. For instance:
Saying you don’t want to tip because the store should pay the wage not you
Saying you don’t tip because you make less than the server and don’t get tips
Exaggerating how much tipped workers actually get
Saying that cash tips are tax evasion
Calling the irs on tipped employees
Saying the minimum wage is too high to deserve a tip
Being really stingy with tips (example: the service was SOOOOOO good I let the server keep the change when I paid with a $20 and it was $18.75)
Making employees work extra hard for tips
Putting the tip out at the beginning of the meal and removing it $1 at a time whenever the waitress takes too long or spills something or whatever
Trying to tip the owner of the restaurant instead of the employee because he’s the ones who made the restaurant good and the employee just brought it out to you
Idk I’m just spitballing here but it seems like it would be kind of funny. It’s been done before on Facebook, there’s a page called “bodybuilders against tipping “ that’s a few years old, maybe look there for inspiration. I think some customer copy checks with rude/funny messages could go viral on one of those twitter accounts or cringe subs and bring in some easily baited people. Let me know if you want in.

If done convincingly and with some degree of subtlty this would be hilarious. Or just generally being insistent on tipping the restaurant owner, or a story about how you gave the employee the tip and asked them to give it to the owner, and asking if you can sue the employee for stealing the tip that was meant for the owner.

Asking for change on a 20 and then calling the manager out, tipping him directly and then asking him to distribute the $1.35 among the employees, himself, and the owner according to who deserves what based on your experience

Every time these types of threads get proposed I always think "there's no way that some redditor will be dumb enough to not see that's bait" and then I see people still getting butthurt in loveforanimesexuals and think "yeah, ok that probably will get some bites"
