Oml yes it does. Some always gets taken which is super fucked up but they make up part of the wage. 60% of my income is tips and that's how most American service workers are. Please tip. It's a shitty system but it's the system. You're not rebelling by hitting no tip.
You should bring this up with your boss, not the customers. Remember it's your boss who is responsible for paying you.
Just another example of working class people being blamed for a problem created by the owning class.
Honestly I do tip but I realize that tipping is a scam. The only way to stop it is to stop tipping as a whole. Also note that you have to get at least minimum wage even if your tips don't get you there. Depending on where you are, they have to still fully pay your hourly wage. Additionally taking any percentage of your tips is illegal in some places as well.
We need to stand up and all stop tipping.
The employer doesn't care if you don't tip. All you're doing is shafting the workers.
Employers have to pay the employees if the tips don't make at least minimum wage.
