Also, tipping culture is sometimes used as an excuse for customers to engage in various levels of harassment with wait staff. This is particularly common in “breastaurants” like Hooters, Twin Peaks, etc.

No, it’s not. They’re strip clubs without the honesty.

I mean to each their own, but ‘breastaurants’ and strip clubs are different levels of lying. I wouldn’t consider strip clubs honest. They are selling the lie. That’s their whole business.
