Wait, are you saying that they're withholding rent and food money from servers by avoiding establishments that expect tipping?

Are we now obligated to eat out?

Hey, careful. It looks like you are putting words in their mouth. The difference between eating out and not tipping and not eating out at all is that one involves you getting the product of labor from a waiter where the other does not.

That makes all the difference between those examples so it’s not fair to equivocate them.

I mean, they pushed back against someone who specifically said they avoid establishments where they are required to tip. What else can I get from that?

see my comment here. there was a pretty decent misunderstanding going on from what i can tell.

I think I get what you're saying there. I was reading their comment in the context of how I read what they were replying to.
