This is always so funny.. why would you boycot the restaurant? Don't hate the player, hate the game. So if you want change, change the rules of the game. Get politically involved, campaign for minimum wage, waiters will get a minimum living wage, tipping won't be required anymore.. this idea that you can and will vote with your wallet is absolutely ridiculous. You will never get critical mass that way.

I notice that being alone for prolonged periods of time makes me kind of load up on thought and insights that I want to dump on people. So the first person I see after isolating myself for a while gets the waterfall. But once that's out, I can listen. The challenge is findig people who actually are interested in my thoughts and wait their turn. Luckily they exist. Can anyone relate?
Counter it with some magnesium citrate. It helps me smooth things out on a regular. Oh and never mix with caffeine. Also, when you feel the come down rolling in: green tea. I am taking ritalin IR for 10 years now as an adult and those two have made taking it much more bearable.
The thing with voting with your wallet is that it is not permanent. It can help for a while if you somehow manage to get critical mass, but I believe that human willpower is not strong enough of a force, it is more or an exception than the norm. If you create a system that incentivizes exploitation and make it legal, someone who participates in the system, say a restaurant owner, can only whitstand the pricing pressure for so long untill the competition, that uses all legal ways to gain an advantage, will take over. I believe that lasting change can only be achieved by rules and enforcement of those rules for everyone. Voting with your wallet makes you feel good about doing your part and it's better than nothing, but if you want to really have impact, you have to go through the legislative route. I think you call this an collective action problem
