I hope this question is allowed here.

A random cafe asked for 10/20/30% for takeout.

Thanks for all the helpful kind replies:)

      This isn’t the answer though. At a broader societal level we should remove tipping as standard, but as an individual it just means you’re freeloading. Unless you’re getting take-out, the price is 10% more than it is listed as.

        The employer is freeloading on both their employees and customers. I don’t support employers who do that and I’m not willing to cover their debts to society. I feel bad for the employees, but I know it’s not their choice to not get paid enough. I just refuse to accept that it is my responsibility to do it on their employer’s behalf. I am in solidarity with them, I vote for taxes and social programs that will help them, I give money to companies that actually pay their workers fairly when I can, and if they want to go on strike for better working conditions and pay, I will support them in that too. But a handful of tips is not going to fix anything or make anyone’s lives meaningfully better. I am not the freeloader here.
