Qasim Rashid, Esq.Corporations are expanding the push for tipping from consumers as an excuse to delay or prevent having to themselves pay their employees a living wage.
Change my mind.
Tony Novak@QasimRashid I’ve always been a generous and expansive tipper. Lately I wonder if I’m just an enabler.
✡️ MG ✡️ #VoteBlue@QasimRashid Nope. no one can change your mind. And non-tipped industries use welfare, SNAP & Medicaid as *their* excuse not to pay fair wages.
ETA: no one can change your mind because you're right.
John Breen@QasimRashid I have a better idea. The customer can choose the proportion of money that goes to the owner, and to those who provided the service. Maybe of a $45 bill, all of it goes to the service providers, none to the owner.
Fair, right ?
Fair, right ?
@QasimRashid If I'm happy with the service, and the service provider indicates that the owner deserves a good cut, I'm happy with that.
They are a team, right ?
Rising tide lifts all boats, right ?
Everybody respects a good coach, who brings out the best in the team.
But if the owner is an anchor, time to cut the chain.

Leisureguy@QasimRashid I totally agree. Corporations always seek to externalize costs to grow profit, since savings increases profit better than increased sales. And externalizing payroll costs is (from a corporation's point of view) an excellent idea.
VHaschI have serious doubts that employees see any of those tips.
PS: You ask for tips, and you're not a restaurant, you'll never see me again.
JWarnerWe call it socializing the cost and privatizing the profits.
El Presidente@QasimRashid I think it's in the point of sale software they get off the shelf by default, removing it would cost 50k. Leaving it in is an easy excuse to avoid raising pay because now workers could maybe possibly be tipped.
Combination of factors allowing companies to continue being greedy.
SpaceLifeFormAlso save the corp money because they contribute less in FICA.
Gregory@QasimRashid it has become an absolute joke.
Little Caesar's, for crying out loud. They should have to tip me for having to enter my code number and reach in to grab my box.

Caleb@QasimRashid Change your mind?
/me passes over a megaphone
Could you say it one more time for the people on the back.

I would go beyond that.
During my lifetime there has been a increasing acceptance of the idea that the posted price of anything is not the actual price.
Whenever I travel to Europe it is always a shock when I realize the advertised price is, in fact, the price.

Sue Goganian@QasimRashid Related:people who work at nonprofits love what they do so it's ok to underpay them
MaryPotTipping is VERY uncommon in Norway. That's because we have many good unions that do the job they are supposed to do...and probably because we had a real Workers' Party government for many years after WWII.
The current government is supposedly Workers' Party (Arbeiderpartiet), but they sure don't act like it and most of the people in the party haven't ever had a real job.
Tipping in USA is doing what the employer should be doing! Making sure the employees can live off the wage.
