    Where are they supposed to find this other work to shift to? A lot of people only work hospitality because they can’t find other jobs, or can’t find other jobs they can fit into their schedule.

    I just don’t go out, which has mostly ended my tipping, but when I do go out I pay for the service I get because doing otherwise makes you a dick.

      That’s what I mean by “you might think it cruel.” I’m not suggesting you adopt this method, I’m saying it’s inaccurate to claim that refusing to tip isn’t going to dismantle the system.
