I give up discussing with you as it’s worthless and a waste of time. You can’t even understand half what I say and you make weird assumptions all the time

The whole “if you support workers so much why don’t you give them all your money” is just so stupid I had to call it here. It’s the equivalent of “if you want to support homelessness and orphans and abandoned pets why don’t you have them all in your home???? Gotchaaaa” which just tells me you have the mental capacity of a child.

Fix your backwards country and then you can stop being mad at people you don’t tip

Bye

Because tipping is inherently biased (there’s plenty of data that shows that it’s unfair af) plus the whole history of why it exists (read it up).

Pay your workers a living wage and get rid of the excessive tipping culture you have there. It’s also bleeding into our side of the pond

Since you are already calling people loser it tells me everything I need to know about you.

Virtually all airlines charge for checked baggage tho. It’s not just budget airline. At least for flights that aren’t intercontinental

And then there’s also the fact that people that work less busy times or times where the people visiting the restaurant are less wealthy earn less per hour than their counter parts

Or how men or people of colour also earn less in tips.

Or how many times they aren’t even shared with back of the house staff.

It’s just a stupid system overall

I think you mean cabin bag

Fortunately the EU is revoking that

Base price needs to be with a cabin bag + personal item. Then they can make a discount if one decides not to take the cabin bag but at least the comparison includes it from the start

So if nobody went to your store because they don’t want to tip the restaurant would close and you’d be fired.

You are being exploited by your boss. The people tipping you are subsidizing that exploitation. You want to be pissed, go be pissed at your boss or find another job.

As another user mentioned plenty of wait staff are in favour of tipping so also because of that it doesn’t change

And it’s a descriminative and unfair system. Theres plenty of data on it.

I tend to avoid travelling to the US

When I’m there I tip in some places (where there’s actual service involved for example. I’m not tipping anyone for literally picking something or a shelf, scanning it and handing it off to me on a counter) but definitely not 20%.

Regarding the tax it’s stupid but it might be less annoying to people because it’s not a choice. Paying the tax is not a problem. It exists for a good reason. What is a problem/stupid is that it’s hidden. That is not the case for tipping. And no I don’t want to further exploit or fuck workers. Quite the contrary. That’s why I advocate that it should be changed and that’s why if people don’t tip it might change.

If everyone stopped tipping tomorrow I guarantee you wages would change very quickly after. Yes it would hurt workers momentarily but its hints would improve after. Continuing to tip is just maintaining the status quo. You can keep waiting for things to change but they won’t as they haven’t for a long time. In fact it’s literally only getting worse with top % increasing.

A) is already a good reason but the bigger one is that everyone is paid a living wage and this stops being the responsibility of the consumer (which I argue it isn’t already and shouldn’t be). And this happens regardless of their age, looks, skin colour, size of tits, luck in their schedule, or which part of the restaurant they work in.

Tax not being included is also insane. We’re not complaining about that because if we were to complain about everything retarded about the US there wouldn’t be enough space in this forum. You guys are getting screwed and played. Focus on that instead of insulting people who refuse to take part in it. It tip is so mandatory that you will insult whoever doesn’t tip then put it in the price. Simple as

If people only went to restaurants that didn’t rely on tips in the US there would be no restaurants whatsoever and all workers would be out of a job.

If people go to the restaurant and don’t tip at some point the waiter can say to their boss that they either get a living wage or they can go to the restaurant thst doesn’t rely on tips (since from your comment they are so common).

From my European POV don’t trick me with fake prices. If the item I’m buying is presented to me with the cost of X then that’s what you should expect and demand of me. Tipping is extra, voluntary and based on above average service.

Shit when I was there last time I got asked for a tip for asking for an item that was off the shelf. It wasn’t even cooked or prepared in any way and it wasn’t even supposed to be consumed in that café. I wasn’t going to pay 20% on an expensive bag of coffee just because some waiter fetched it literally from the shelf behind him. It’s insane

Besides basically everything else runs off tips so it works. Or do you tip your landlord with the rent??

GN absolutely destroys Linus in this video. I mean Linus gave him all the ammo by repeatedly lying and not owning up his mistakes, but still. He's calling like it is, without any sugarcoating.

I did change my sub from LTT to GN.

That isn’t there so people use it. That is there so that Facebook can track where you go

You know lemmy is better than Reddit when a post about Greta isn’t filled with people that feel personally attacked by a girl that is just trying to make the world a better place.

That always pissed me off so much.

You know Lemmy is getting good when you have comments like this

Like how the fuck do you know so much about koalas? It’s a rethorical question mostly. Thank you for sharing :)

In a concurring opinion, Chief Justice Tom Parker cited his religious beliefs and quoted the Bible to support the stance.

"Human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, who views the destruction of His image as an affront to Himself," Parker wrote. "Even before birth, all human beings bear the image of God, and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory."

wtf

Have you considered that those things aren’t done not because of stupidity but because a small subset of society that holds most of the political power and media benefits from those things being done?

The system isn’t flawed in the sense that it doesn’t work. It does. Extremely well. It just doesn’t work for you and me or to make everyone’s lives better.

Apple makes some really stupid products that they charge ridiculous money for and their usual stuff is more expensive than it needs to be but at least their core products are of very good quality. The same cannot be said of Tesla

And then far right media would parrot for weeks that Biden actually wants to kill Trump. If they did what they did for a “stolen election” imagine what they would do if they had “reason” to suspect that Trump could be assassinated at Bidens wish

This is posts per day? The image makes it seem like so, the title not so much. 1 million posts per day and growing is a huge thing if so

Yes. I mean I’m a man and I had no trouble understanding the post but for some reason it is very hard for some people

Porque no los dos?
