Who the fuck defends tipping culture, you're just making shit up to justify your hatred of an entire country
I've seen plenty of wait staff show up to defend tipping in Reddit threads. They'd rather shame customers than demand fair wages from their employers. Or maybe they were all just bots.
I think those people tend to make a lot of money off tips. There have been times I could get way more than you'd get from any paycheck a restaurant would ever be willing to pay, even with the laws changed for that sector, for "less" work. Depending on the place you work at you could have $300+ a night cash Friday-Sunday and that's me going back to what I remember from 12 years ago so who knows what they're able to get now.
I don't even make $900 a week now in a psudo-managment position in a factory. Not that the $900 is consistent there for those in food service, I just think that's one reason people would be openly resistant to the idea of changing how tipping works.
Plenty. I have had people tell me I am inhumane for criticising tipping culture, and if I point out it is related to the extreme class system and slavery history of America they downvote me to hell and try to justify that it is "land of tha free" or whatever.
They don't even have freedom from hunger or illness in their messed up country.
And tipping culture has creeped in both magnitude (i.e. 15% used to be standard, but now it's the low end) and scope (e.g. tips prompts at fucking fast food places)
Well capitists, the rich, government, industry, ect... Oh yea don't forget the capitalist boot lickers.
I've seen a lot of people, including servers and diners, defending tipping culture.
Sadly.
I'm on the side of tipping while in a tipping culture, but only because of the crap way servers are payed and they're the only ones hurt by protesting through refusing to tip. Otherwise, it's a practice that needs to die.
