At least in the US, tipping is the accepted way that we compensate certain people for their time.
If you habitually never tip, you are not paying for the service that you receive in good faith. This is theft of service.
If you don't like tipping, patronize places that include the tip in the bill. Tell restaurant owners to change their pay structure to avoid it. It won't be changed by you individually shirking your obligation to pay.
Oh no I’m such a thief ahah don’t call the popo. I pay the service and products when I pay the bill with the agreed prices. If US companies are so broke and poor that they can’t even pay their people, they should close. I don’t beg for money when I work, disgusting.
