A new trend in tipping emerges - Lemmy.world

Nobody but your boss has to give you the pay you deserve

If you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford to eat out or order delivery. Just because the tip system is a terrible system doesn’t mean you have an excuse to fuck over the victims of it.

Until there’s a national strike on tipping that could lead thousands of tip reliant workers to quit (like the writers strike), be a decent person and have some sympathy. Instead of eating out and not tipping, don’t eat out. The restaurant gets the same amount of money whether you tip or not, I guarantee they don’t give a shit.

Yes, not tipping is an asshole move. But two assholes don’t make a right - a server with this attitude deserves to get an asshole who won’t tip.

If it wasn’t so depressing I might find it funny you think people work in bad environments because they want to.

Minimum wage is not a livable wage, I shouldn’t have to tell you this. Your arrogance is genuinely disgusting.

And I find the arrogance of telling people if they can’t afford to tip, they shouldn’t eat out disgusting. If you can afford it and are just being cheap, that’s one thing, but you don’t get to be arrogant like that while acting all offended the other way around.

If you can’t afford something you shouldn’t buy it. Just because you don’t agree with the system doesn’t mean you get to ignore it and then justify it by taking a moral high ground.

You know the servers wages are dependent on tips and you choose not to pay them. THAT is the social contract. Whether you agree with it or not.

If you cared about changing the system you’d take steps to change it without screwing the workers. You’re just being cheap.

I tip. But there’s a difference between “I know the system is terrible, but I rely on tips and would really appreciate it if you’re able” and “Don’t go out if you can’t afford to tip.” The second is arrogant, condescending, and what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Not being an asshole goes both ways.
No. It’s not. Don’t go somewhere you can’t afford (including the tip) is not arrogant.
