I never tip and hope that voting with my wallet will cause more people to realize that they should be fighting owners, not customers or employees.
Hopefully you never eat at the same place twice, either.
Or else what?
"That's a nice meal you have there. Be a shame if there were some bodily fluids in it."
I've worked in food service before. Committing felonies by tampering with food is exceedingly rare, and not something people tend to do just because they don't get tipped.
The only tampering I ever saw was when the owners visited and ran their mouths.
Not a risk I'd be willing to take.
Well, then you're paying the price.
And you may pay in a different way.
Indeed.
I watched my manager spit in chicken sandwiches at KFC when I was a young cook there. Imagine what I didn't see?
I think it's more common than you realize.
Did he at least have a reason?
He said he didn't like the guy.
Well, it's a reason, but not a good one.
Did you report them?
Because you saw 1 instance at 1 location from 1 person? Lol.
I love your blind faith in humanity, it's quite endearing.
So no?
What would be the point? My word vs a well liked managers word? That doesn't end well for this peon on multiple levels.
Hey, good principled stance... I guarantee literally every server, and I mean absolutely every one, thinks you're the asshole and they are 1000000% not thinking about the realities of the tipped industries when they see the bill with a zero percent tip.
Also, I kinda think you're the asshole if you're dumb enough to believe that you, the one you, is somehow going to change tipping culture in America by not tipping.
