(402 posts)In this society we have certain unsaid courtesy and cultural rules almost all of us were taught, you don't talk in theaters cause you ruin the movie for others, you don't cut people off, you don't play loud music in a apartment after 10 pm etc, doing any of these things make you a asshole.
Tipping is one of these things,if you have moral objections to tips, fight to change the laws or avoid business that expect you to tip other wise you are being a asshole by not tipping and have no excuse. I tip 20% or more even when my service is bad cause most bad service is due to things beyond a servers control, I am not going to be petty and judge that servers day i am going to tip cause i asked for their service by going to their job.
If that restaurant expects you to subsidize the wages of their wait staff then i am sure they are willing to not accept your business if you don't want to tip, it's the cost of doing business,so do everyone a favor don't eat in carry out, management tends to be very supportive of wait staff. Same goes for pizza Delivery or bellhops who carry your bags.
no tip means- pick up your own pizza,curbside pick-up,carry your own bags you have a choice they don't.
