Yes, I am saying that "the customer who pays full price and no more is "a piece of shit".

"and not" ??

"management who underpays staff".

Both of those people would be peices of shit.

I don't really understand why you would expect anyone to think that only one of those could possibly be shit at the same time.

Fair enough, they can both be shit. I just don't see how it's my responsibility as a customer, to fix the problem that the resto is underpaying its staff.

The way I usually do my part to help workers who are not treated well, is to boycott the employer. If tipping is seen as a solution to that problem, I'd call that enabling. Tipping is the only reason restos can get away with grossly underpaying their staff. I don't want to support that.
