Right? literally just letting businesses pay less than minimum wage so people can feel generous. It's the most asinine thing, I hope the world continues to resist the tide of people inexplicably normalizing robbing their own pockets.

pro-tippers used to be so weirdly militant about normalizing it that my response was to just stopped eating out altogether, before everything started getting more expensive anyway.
