We dug into how American tipping culture got so broken, and the fight to fix it.
It turns out that your tips are subsidizing the payrolls of multi-billion dollar chains, while they pay their workers under minimum wage.
It’s a system rooted in slavery, and pushed by a wealthy restaurant owners onto the rest of us.
But there’s a growing movement to change it.
So stop going to places that expect tips! You don’t have to use these services. Just stop.
You just want to have your treats and give up nothing and pretend like you’re helping.
Okay, thanks for the advice but I already don’t frequent businesses that exploit their employees and you have no reason to assume I do.
You made the assumption I do just so you could get a snarky remark in, not to make a meaningful counterpoint.
I’m sure you don’t 🤫
But what I said applies to everyone - just refuse to do business with these places. Don’t give them your money and then refuse to tip. That’s psychotic lol
Yes, your incredulity certainly makes your argument much stronger. But postulating obvious platitudes is what really drives your point home.
I make it a habit to never believe anyone on the internet.
Good on you. Is accusing people you “never believe” of lying part of that habit?
If I don’t believe the things you say then, by definition, I am assuming you are lying.
It’s not personal. That’s just the internet - people lie.
Wow, that’s so deep, you are so profound!
Except it’s complete bullshit, isn’t it? Believing something is entirely different from accusing someone of something but a great philosopher like you is surely aware of that, right?
You made up a stupid principle on the spot after being called out for talking bullshit because you couldn’t find a suitable counter argument. It’s neither personal nor the internet, it’s your weak attempt of worming out of something dumb you said. Don’t worry, I was 15 once, I remember what it feels like. Your brain just isn’t there yet.
Now kindly go troll elsewhere.
