People aren't happy with this tipping hack from CNBC

[post_page_title]Robbing the waitstaff[/post_page_title]
The response to CNBC’s “tipping trick” was overwhelmingly negative because people weren’t happy about what it meant for America’s waitstaff. In a lot of places, servers make more from customer tips than they do their salary. They’re typically only paid minimum wage with the expectation that they’ll make up the rest of their money by giving people the best dining experience possible.

While losing a few dollars from one diner following this hack might not be the end of the world, it builds up quickly. Imagine if every single person in a restaurant decided to follow this trick. Soon enough, the waitstaff would see their wages significantly reduced, and that could prevent them from being able to make rent or bill payments for the month. If that were happening all across the country, no-one would want to take on the job anymore, leaving diners without any table service.
