If a restaurant paid waiters 2x or 3x the minimum wage, would you still tip?

1. Europe isn't peopled by tip addicted, competitive virtue signalers trying to show how empathetic, kind and generous they are.
2. No! Absolutely not. The restaurant is their employer, not me. The restaurant withholds their taxes, I don't. I'm the
customer, not the boss of the restaurant. It's
not my responsibility to cover restaurant
inability to afford capable staff. They can deduct employee costs, I can't. Can you?
By tipping we enable poor restaurant business practices and improve their bottom line, to our ultimate financial detriment. Tipping doesn't show how kind we are. Tipping just shows that we are gullible and dimwitted sheep.
Don't like tipping? Oh, you're Baaaa d.🐏🐑🐑🐑🐏🐑🐏
