    If everyone stopped tipping servers would realize it’s their boss who is not paying them a livable wage in the first place. Stop subsidizing employers.

      I’ve heard someone say that if we pay people working at restaurants a living wage, it would become more expensive to eat out.

      I personally only eat out a couple of times a year, so that wouldn’t matter to me. But what’s your take on this?

        If costs go up because people need more money to earn a living wage, then we should 100% do it. Everyone deserves a living wage.

        America is the richest country in the world. We can afford to pay everyone a livable wage. The problem is that there are some extremely greedy oligarchs that have an addiction to greed, which in turn makes the lives of everyone else more difficult.
