Cool, and while we're busy redoing American society, she and others will still be getting stiffed by assholes. Passing laws will remove tipping culture. Employers don't give a fuck about your civil disobedience. You aren't hurting them.
If everyone stopped tipping tomorrow, employers would just wonder why their employees suck so bad at their jobs. It wouldn't fix anything.
Customers have no problem voluntarily overpaying for everything else and helping assholes make profit, but a tip that directly goes to a low-level employee? Well that's just a bridge too far! My money is not for paying other people!
How the fuck is $15 "getting stiffed"?
