Right and I completely agree. But withholding tip when you go out to eat isn’t showing it to the man, it’s fucking over some poor server who relies on tips for her family. 

I absolutely agree it’s bullshit but the way to take down the system isn’t to not tip one individual. Don’t patronize restaurants that don’t pay out appropriately is probably the better place to start.

There are several restaurants that are specifically "no tip“, for instance Thai Fresh in Austin. I highly recommend looking up tipless restaurants in your area and patronizing those places. Take your money where you don't feel guilted because the owner won't pay living wages, while not stiffing any servers.
