Tipping is dumb af anyways. Why is it my job to make up the remaining of their salary when businesses easily could just pay them more but don’t because they know the customers will just do it for them

Tipping seems to be a cultural thing in the States.

Here in the UK we take the Mr. Pink approach to tipping.

It stopped being a cultural thing decades ago. Now it’s about about companies not paying employees a living wage and America’s right wing constantly blocking legislation that would force employers to pay people enough to have shelter and food.

~It actually started as an economic thing too, because businesses during the great depression weren’t able to consistently pay living wages.~
