Business owners don't give a single flying expletive if you tip their workers. Stopping tipping would probably not even be something they notice, except in the context of someone saying "hey boss, people stopped tipping us"
If the argument is that tipping keeps their prices low (costs/wages), aren’t you just ending up paying the same price anyways in the end? Like, why all this extra BS?
Just pay decent wages, set fair prices, and make no more tipping “the norm” instead.
Eventually they would. When the cashier at the yoghurt shop mentioned realizes that they can get paid more at some other shop / restaurant, the owner would realize they have to pay more to get employees.
Unfortunately, this would be a slow process.
