You could make just as good a case that it’s the other way around.

A salaried employee makes the same amount of money whether they please people or not. Since pleasing people does not earn them extra income, they often won’t do it, and often their jobs even specifically require being an asshole (managers, supervisors, etc.) at least some of the time.

Someone who works for tips on the other hand can increase their pay quite a bit by pleasing people. And many professional assholes will actually tip quite well for good service, because being around other professional assholes all day can be quite tiring, and being generous for a change is a good way to unwind from that.

Okay, but good service means interrupting my family as little as possible and bringing food out in a decent time frame. People power tripping with their tip percentage, like oh this server didnt grovel enough so they get 10%. Its stupid and petty and causes stress and anxiety for both parties which is bullshit.

JUST TELL ME HOW MUCH TO PAY/TIP SO MY FUCKING SERVER CAN AFFORD A LIVING WAGE. STOP TREATING PEOPLES LIVELIHOODS AS A CARNIVAL GAME.

the ignorance of calling this “people pleasing” behavior is crazy to me. Its not people pleasing to want somebody to have food on there table at night, or to pay their bills. its the awareness that its a fucked system and that were doing our part to support people. the amount of privilege in this tweet is jaw dropping.

its the equivalent of supporting women's rights and calling it “people pleasing” behavior. get fucked dude
