    Right,so don’t use those businesses. You give them no reason to do anything differently.

    All you are doing is helping to maintain the status quo.

      You don’t get it, I think? The point is to get the workers to quit or protest because they don’t get paid enough, so that the place can increase the prices instead so they can pay their workers. If the place is still providing a nice service or good food or whatever it may be, you don’t want it to go out of business. Just make a worker-positive change.

        Most people won’t quit, especially in the US from what I know. If they are already underpaid, how can they quit? And if pretty much every place treats waiters the same, what choice do they have?

        It takes everyone to fix these issues. It is not a one-sided job. Every time you give these establishments money, you help them.

        And there is no shortage of replacement waiters out there for the ones who quit.

          I’m trying to help the establishment, by changing their ways. Not by bankrupting them. And if they just keep changing waiters, surely the quality of service will go down and Darwin takes care of the rest.

      I would not, that’s… what I’m trying to imply here… Yeah, businesses who don’t pay their employees enough bad.
