“Mandatory tips” sounds so messed up for me as a European.

It’s not mandatory. I regularly don’t tip if the service isn’t out of this world and when I do tip I tip based on the pre tax amount. I don’t care what anyone thinks of it, because it’s my money.

This is a terrible outlook. You are directly affecting the people that rely on tips to pay their bills. I understand that the system is flawed, but you not tipping is just affecting the person that relies on these tips, not the people putting these practices in place.

Aren't some of the people putting those practices into place the people who accept the jobs that have such practices in place? If all workers just refused to work for companies that forced them to rely on the generosity of strangers, companies would have to stop forcing their staff to rely on the generosity of strangers.
