Haha, the guy in this meme is exactly how I’d picture a financial advisor in 2030.
Pretty sure that's John Hamm with photoshopped hair?
That’s Jon Hamm’s head with Patrick Mahomes’ hair.
Bro there are financial advisors, i.e bank tellers, who look like this now

taking financial advice from a bank teller

Bruh

What do they tell the bank?
Bank tellers are not financial advisors lmao.
Future’s looking sus, major oof vibes
Bruh, market’s gone down the skibidi toilet. Everyone’s big mad fr fr.

Only -50%? Fucking rookie numbers, bro.

Try -99%

Don’t worry he’s already getting a 2.3% tip every year.

Look at that tribble on dude’s head.

But yeah, American tipping culture is out of control. They are even making me choose whether or not to tip at fast food restaurants now…

I can tell this is old because the tip selection doesn't go up to 30%+.

Seriously, tipping is getting out of hand. I compromised by going above 15% to begin with, I'll be cold and dead in the ground before I go above 20% and I will die on this hill.

I remember when 10% used to be default for typical service and 15%-18% for exemplary service. Then, a few years ago, suddenly everyone started putting 15% as the lowest option on their debit/credit machines. Now I have to push Other Amount to add a 10% tip, and I don’t do it, but honestly just pressing the no-tip button would be a lot easier.

Now I have to push Other Amount to add a 10% tip

It’s especially getting out of hand when convenience stores are doing it, and then the cashier has the gall to give you a shitty look, especially when you hit no tip. Motherfucker, you scanned my item and processed a transaction, why the fuck do you deserve a tip for just doing your job?

I will get hate for it but that last sentence is exactly how I feel about a waiter at a restaurant. You brought me my drink, and you brought me my food. Which is supposed to be your job, I understand that a lot of them get paid potentially less than minimum wage but that’s not my fault. I paid what was asked for, if the server went Above and Beyond in some way I will generally leave a tip but if they just did their job I don’t see any reason to.

Be mad at your bosses for being worthless piles of shit who don’t pay you properly not me for not paying more than what I was asked to pay

The dirty look from people whose jobs don’t deserve a tip drives me over the edge
Don’t tip non-service oriented people at all. You shouldn’t tip a gas station attendant for ringing up your bottle of water. Just stick to the traditional tipping industries tipping everyone helps no one except for the credit card processing companies, since the people getting those tips now have to turn around and hand them to someone else every time they spend their money. It’s all a scam by the processing companies.
Yeah in 2030 it’ll be more like 200% / 300% / 500%

Honestly these guys would be the easiest shit for AI to replace right? Even if the AI just picks ETFs it’ll beat most of them anyways

Sure, until it’s just AIs running markets, and then companies. Neuromancer is literally about AIs running massive multi-generational businesses. And then super fast whatever the best AI is pursues instrumental convergence to completion

At least the pizzas come on time in neuromancer so it’s worth it.
There’s an app for Android that’s an idle game based on the paper clip theory
Makes sense. Universal Paperclips has been out for 6 years and is the classic

Last time I was in the states for a conference I had to do a self checkout in a shop and the machine asked for a tip…

FOR WHO? I did everything myself? Do you pay these machines a salary too low to survive as well?

Doesn’t hurt to ask. And the tip is for the CEO.
A tip? Sure, you can have 30% of my debt as a tip
Right? A % of lost money means he’ll give me money, right?
Is that John Hamm with a TikTok Broccoli-boy haircut?

Broccoli-boy haircut

It will be a cold day in Hell before I take any kind of advice from someone whose style guru is Bellwether from Zootopia.

Heres your tip, “dont eat yellow snow”
Plant potatoes early.

Wow, it’s true.

John Hamm never ages.

What film is this screenshot from?
The subtotal was $13.24. I choose to believe that’s half this guy’s net worth
