You mean "fuck places where I've been socially obligated to pay someone's wage instead of their employer"

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Yeah, an actual, genuine TIP where it's optional for providing good service is fine. The extortion it's now become is not.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

You literally always pay the wages of the people that work for companies.

[-] smotherlove@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Usually it's rolled into the price of the product or service, which clearly nobody has a problem with.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

As is this. I have no idea why people here are convinced tipping is somehow bad for employees and good for employers

It's literally the same thing you just are more aware of it.

[-] smotherlove@sh.itjust.works -1 points 11 months ago

It's not the same thing. Tipping is a psychological game that pits customers and servers against each other. It's "how little can I tip before they tamper with my food" versus "how indebted can I make them feel before they reject it and leave without tipping"

It’s “how little can I tip before they tamper with my food”

Normal people never, ever think this.

I didn't realize you're the spokesperson for all normies, what an honor. Really though, it is a common sentiment, especially with pre-tipping. When they flip around that iPad and glare at you, there is definitely a sense that the probability of them spitting in your food is not 0% if you hit the no tip button.

Baristas post on their social media about giving non-tippers decaf all the time. If that's what they are willing to share publicly to the entire world, imagine what people are willing to do secretly.

Dude there is a universe worth of difference between eating at a restaurant and being asked to tip like, a good truck or some shit.

I'm completely unaware of this, and this is stupid.

You tip people who live on tips for a living, and in places of high, but not elite, quality.
