Unfortunately tips in many places are used so employers don’t have to pay fair wages. The point of “no tips” is to demand fair wages from the start.

I’m generally anti-tipping since it gives shitty employers a fig leaf to pay their workers an unlivable wage, but I still tip if I’m at an establishment where workers depend on tips. The system ain’t their fault.

Would you tip at McDonalds, a gas station, a grocery or department store?

In the region of the world I’m from, waiter unions themselves are against tipping. The reasons I have heard are that

wage negotiations should not happen between customers and employees

the principle of everyone’s salary being enough to cover all costs of living

neither customer nor employee will benefit from service staff having too low wages

worker’s rights cannot practically be built using funds from tipping

normalising tipping will be used by the employer as an argument to pay below liveable wages

That being said, waiters are given a liveable wage here. And locals also sometimes tip for great service. But that’s just a bonus for the waiter, not the expectation.

I would personally suggest you reevaluate your pro-tipping stance given the above, but I don’t know where in the world you’re from, nor how waiters are treated or paid there

I think you’ll find most people have no problem with tipping, only with forced tipping or the cultural pressure to tip. Most people dont want to stop you from tipping if you would like to.
