Collective action against tipping isn’t individual action against tipping tbf. Just needs yanks to build on this and push further to break down this shitty culture that only holds because consumers accept it.

Have you never heard of strike funds? If service workers can’t even pay rent they’re going to strike and walk out, breeding a crisis that will make tipping culture untenable.

Only collective action can contribute to changing this, this is a start. Up to Yanks to carry on which will create a crisis where workers strike.

I mean it’s not an individual act here, it’s starting to look like collective action. A mass boycott of tipping would force a crisis where workers walk out en masse. Euros are giving Yanks the push they need to build on this, with unions, a collective organization, strike funds. This is the only path towards tipping abolition, a relic of class oppression and a mechanism by which capitalists shift wage costs onto consumers, esp disgusting when we know attractive or white servers often receive more than equally skilled counterparts, deepening racial and gender pay gaps and fosters a power imbalance that enables harassment: 74% of female servers in the U.S. have experienced sexual harassment, often tolerated because their income depends on pleasing the customer.

Start low. Baloon tests cities, work out the kinks, increase the scope, etc. How we do pretty much anything.

Capitalism is cultural heritage atp

This is why the Zucmann taxation model is so hyped tbh. I doubt you haven’t heard of it?
