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.

    Yes, your incredulity certainly makes your argument much stronger. But postulating obvious platitudes is what really drives your point home.

          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.
