When it comes to tipping culture, there are two types of customers: You either firmly believe that servers should be paid normally and not have to rely on tip money (and maybe because of that you don't even tip yourself, depending on where you live), or you feel for the serves who barely make enough money to exist, and probably overtip because of that. The main problem, regardless of how the customers themselves feel about tipping, is that many establishments still pay servers with the money that comes from tips, and that creates an entire dynamic that is simply unfair to the hardworking servers.

Much like the server in this Reddit story. On one of the days he was working, his boss came up to him out of the blue and informed him that he would not be getting his tip money for that day. The server tried to understand the reasoning for that decision and was met with poor excuses. Knowing that what his boss is doing is illegal, the server starts collecting proof of his boss's wrongdoings.
