So yeah, I'll always tip and then I give grief to the owner to pay their employees as you say

Why would they pay their employees, if you are doing exactly what they want you? You always tip, so they always don't have to pay it out of their own pockets.

I'm sure the owners keep saying "yes I'm so sorry I'll consider it" and once they're out of your sight they grin and think of it not a second more.

Because giving grief to the workers doesn't trickle up to the owners. They make the same money regardless.

You can give shit to the owners while making sure workers make a living wage. These things are not related.

If you don't want to tip, then don't tip. But still give grief to the owners. If everyone shit on the owners as much as the staff things would change.

I can guarantee you that giving grief to the owners does nothing at all and changes nothing.

You cannot hope that people telling owners "this is bad I don't like it at all" while still paying will change anything. It's not how the world works.
