title: Fuck Tipping
points:
  - title: 'Tipping is Hostile to Customers:'
    description:
      - |
        Businesses embrace the tipping culture to offload the responsibility of
        paying proper wages onto their customers while <em>still</em> selling
        their products with a high profit margin.
        As a result, customers end up paying the margin twice &mdash; once
        included in the bill and <em>again</em> in the tip you're "supposed" to
        leave.
      - |
        Furthermore, tipping is manipulative, exploiting customers' egos,
        senses of guilt &amp; duty; sometimes, even peer pressure is used.
        Personally, I'd prefer to just pay the bill.
  - title: 'Tipping is Hostile to Workers:'
    description:
      - |
        Employers can use knowledge about their workers' tips against them.
        Despite the often low &amp; unstable income from tips, bosses may
        leverage them to reject salary increases, health insurance upgrades,
        etc.
        Consequently, tipping undermines employees' powers during salary &amp;
        benefits negotiations.
  - title: 'Tipping Encourages Bias:'
    description:
      - |
        The tipping culture promotes unfairness and bias, because customers are
        prioritized based on their perceived generousity (and treated
        accordingly).
  - title: 'Tipping is Awkward &amp; Lame:'
    description:
      - |
        Many can recall numerous instances when they tried to collect enough
        cash from the table to leave a "decent" tip, or the awkward, rushed
        calculation of the amount to write down in the special "Tip:" field
        that you know the waiter will inspect momentarily.
        Or the stupid iPad tipping machines that are now part of web folklore?
        Give me a break.
