Idea for new subreddit: r/againsttipping

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.

Idea: talk about how tipping culture discriminates against the working class customers. "Sometimes I just want to treat my family to the rare nice meal but tipping means that we can't really afford something decent. A $50 meal turns into a $70 meal and that's really preventing me from treating my family. It's excluding and pricing out the working class from restaurants. The other day I wanted to reward my son for his B grade in math but I could only take him to Applebees. That's not the kind of memory I want to leave for him when he succeeds."
