I don’t go to coffee shops but I wouldn’t tip there either. I don’t think I should be responsible for paying employees a living wage. Charge me appropriately for the item and pay your fucking employees.

Cash is the answer here, I might leave 25p in the saucer.

I agree that's how it should be, but how things should be doesn't pay the bills. Don't take your anger out on the employees. Those are the only people you're hurting.

And don’t put the blame on the customer. Demand better wages. I’m not taking it out on anyone.

You not tipping is not at all the same thing as demanding better wages and you know it.

First of all, I don’t go to coffee shops which is what we were talking about so the point is moot. Second, the fact that you seem to think it is the customer in the wrong and not the employers shows just how brain washed you are by corporations. People have been unionizing and striking across the country for living wages and that is the answer, not shaming the customer. Wake up.

Jesus fucking christ my dude. Not going to coffee shops is a valid option, but since you apparently haven't noticed there are not yet living wages in most of the country. Either don't use the services or tip until there are. Have some goddamn class solidarity and don't force people to work for your benefit for poverty wages until things get better. Don't pretend your greed is socialism.
