This only works in an idealized perfect scenario which doesn’t exist. You not tipping only hurts the delivery driver and doesn’t touch the man whatsoever. Furthermore companies are only required to pay 7.25 federally unless state has other laws, which many don’t. So best case scenario you are bumping people up to 7.25 which isn’t even close to a living wage and wouldn’t do a thing for vehicle maintenance and gas.
You are welcome to believe that you are sticking to the man not tipping but the reality is that you are fucking over hard working people short term. Even if everyone unilateral agreed to stop tipping it would take years for the system to fully catch up and again you would be fucking them over during those years.
Your argument isn’t grounded in reality which is my argument, propose a plan that will actually have impact past screwing service workers.
I’m not sure what your point is with labor demonstrations, those people got change though very bloody(not voluntarily bloody) organized protests, not tipping isn’t even close to an accurate comparison. A little more profit to the working class is a crumlet and just doesn’t do shit for service workers, let’s focus on taking the pie back which again not tipping isn’t doing.
