Tipping is a way to take any tension between the employee and the business owner, and between the customer and the business owner, and make it between the employee and the customer.
Exactly. Tipping is fundamentally unethical for all parties involved.

Nah,stop supporting abusive practices.
asdf
No u
if your gonna order from a place that needs tips then tip, if you dont like those practices, dont use those business or services.
“no,I don’t think I will”
What are you gonna do?
not my problem, i avoid that shit altogether. other people use it so they vote with their money that they like the service. the service still around, so people voted to keep it. democracy.
That’s not really how democracy works but a+ for effort
ok??
still not democracy XD
I just stopped ordering delivery once my health improved. It got bad when I started seeing a service fee and still being asked to tip nearly a third of the bill
Modern tips are just service fees, except you can either pay them or be acknowledged as an asshole.
An asshole for not falling for the scam? Hmmmmkay
Tipping won’t go anywhere because service staff earn too much money. Ask any waiter you know if they’d prefer tips or a better minimum wage.
Yeah I never felt guilty not leaving a tip. They are doing fine.
I stopped going to a restaurant after the employees said I was a shitty person for not tipping a girl who walked the food to my car $5. It was a $15 order. All she did was walk 50 feet. I get $10 an hour to break my back all day. Fuck you.
She probably got paid like $4 an hour to serve people food.
You’re not wrong for not tipping $5. She wasn’t wrong for wanted/needing/hoping for a 33% tip.
The employer is likely in the wrong for running a restaurant where it’s staff are specifically underpaid to put the burden on their customers to pay them so don’t go broke/stay broke.
She wasn’t wrong for wanted/needing/hoping for a 33% tip.
33% tip is absolutely ridiculous
So don’t work that job. Shit pay should result in nobody working there.
It shouldn’t result in an expectation of the customers to pay your wage in an unspoken random amount on top of their bill
It shouldn’t, no. But there’s a $2.13 an hour minimum wage for tipped employees. Employers have to fill the gap to $7.25 if tips don’t cover it, but the simple matter is the law facilitates the expectation customers pay tips.
7 States and DC don’t have a tipped minimum wage.
In CA it’s $15.50 currently with our without tips.
A an European, where mandatory tipping is not a thing, I find this practice of outsourcing the payment of restaurant employee’s salaries to customers absolutely stupid.
I really can’t understand how either customers or employees are letting this go on.
If one isn’t able to pay their employees a living wage they should just pick another fucking thing to do tbh.
That anger would be better directed at the corporations who have used propaganda to get people to subsidize the wages of their employees further and further.
The person you’re shitty with is just trying to get by, same as you.
that happened
