I kinda get what you're saying but that's not why he's celebrated

I probably just wouldn't use lemmy as an indicator of popularity/activity levels.

I think you're missing that lemmy is a pretty tiny slice of the internet and niche(ish) communities either don't exist or are mostly inactive. Just because something doesn't seem to be making waves on lemmy, doesn't mean it isn't popular. The community for it just isn't really here (yet).

It's almost like they could have also said something more than just "hey"

I tip and tip well when I patronize these businesses. You seem to defend the business owners while placing all the blame on this fictional group of people that are gleefully "fucking over wait staff." Also your tone is really hostile and confrontational.

You're assuming that it's my responsibility to directly pay these people's wages. I do but it's a dumb argument that I disagree with. "let the businesses close and new ones open with better practices" is tantamount to saying "let these people find better jobs that don't rely on tips to make a somewhat livable wage."

I get what you're saying and I still begrudgingly tip every time unless the service is terrible which is rare. But if people boycott these businesses instead of going and not tipping wouldn't that be just as bad if not worse for service workers than not tipping at all?

For example, if 80 percent of the people who regularly patronize restaurants stopped going, wouldn't a lot of these businesses close resulting in these people losing their jobs entirely? It's not a likely scenario but it's an interesting thought experiment.

Well if you haven't heard of it then it surely hasn't happened and is no threat at all!
