“Trumpflation”

4 years into Biden’s term

This all your guy.

Cut the Americans some slack, they also think it's 'like communism' when the grocery stores in their hyper capitalist hellscape have stocking issues

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 52 points 1 month ago

Dude outs himself as a 10% tipper holy shit i-cant

[-] Josephine_Spiro@hexbear.net 42 points 1 month ago

Not only a 10% tipper as a millionaire, a 10% tipper on a delivery app

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

Seriously. I don't want to be all "worker A deserves more than worker B" but you're not wearing down your car's engine if you're reaching behind the bar for a bottle. Gig workers should get a 20 for the smallest order or you should get it yourself.

Tips should not even be asked for or expected with such services. Uber should be paying fair compensation based on number of deliveries and distance travelled. The customer is already paying a subscription fee and sometimes a delivery fee over that.

I've heard that Uber subsidizes low tips to make sure orders get fulfilled if they're not accepted by a driver in a reasonable time frame. Theoreretically the tip goes up gradually the longer the order sits in the unaccepted pool (with Uber paying the difference relative to the tip offered by the customer). Part of why they do it is to take advantage of FOMO from the driver who knows that there are others who may accept a lower tip and will feel pressure to accept lower than they usually would. Almost like a type of auction.

Would be curious if someone who drives Uber could confirm that. Somehow people who tip $0 still get their food so there must be something to it.

Tipping 2.79 on a doordash/Uber eats order when you're rich is ridiculous. I've delivered to people with a guest house, a pool, and 2 sports cars in the driveway for that kind of tip and it always pisses me off.

Also low key racist talking about deporting the delivery driver.

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 37 points 1 month ago

Paying more to the government for sales tax than to the worker actually getting the food to you is so shitty. Fuck this dude.

[-] frazorth@feddit.uk 20 points 1 month ago

Why don't they just bill him the cost of delivery then? Why are Americans so afraid of charging people the cost of doing business and then get all pissy if they don't get paid what they believe to be the cost of doing business?

Fuck this delivery company.

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Even as a consumer you would want service and taxes to be included in the posted price of whatever you're buying. It must be really annoying not being able to predict what something will actually cost you simply by looking at it's price tag.

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah but not as annoying as stressing about making your rent paying because some Mr. Pink asshole decides to steal your wages by "making a stand" against tipping (while patronizing the restaurant that pays its workers a sub minimum wage with the expectation that anyone eating there will tip).

Because by not including the price of labor in the price tag, the company allows customers who are more willing to buy a product if they can stuff the worker more access to the goods and services they're selling.

This let's the collude with bad or non-tippers to stiff the worker.

We absolutely must not give a pass to shitty people who are "anti-tipping" but continue to shop at industries that run on tips.

EDIT: I actually want to be more explicit here, fuck you specifically if this is your attitude frazorth, and fuck anyone who agrees with you. The "Americans" deciding to let you steal from their employees by letting you pay them or not, instead of requiring you to pay that extra money and then passing it on to the employee are absolutely at fault, but if you fly over here and expect not to tip the desperate workers who are waiting on you hand and foot in restaurants, hotels, and on delivery apps, I hope you choke on your food and fail to make it back to nonce Island.

If you ever want to get mad, you can look up what proportion of workers are in minimum wage jobs, take a rough estimate of their aggregate income, and compare it to GDP.

About 40% of every price tag goes to labor. About 7% of that same price tag goes to low-wage labor, which makes up half the workforce.

Cheese curds gang

[-] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago

everybody talking about the tip like that "service fee" ain't right there

service deez nuts, shake shack

death penalty to all involved in "delivery fees" that don't get paid to the driver

[-] regul@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

The service fee is almost certainly the delivery app's cut.

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Drivers should be salaried, not tipped.

Service fees should be included in the price of the goods purchased and/or the delivery.

Taxes should be included in the prices posted to consumers.

[-] regul@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

Surely he didn't tip 10% for delivery?

[-] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

Who the fuck is blowing $38 on fast food? You could get actual high quality shit for less than that.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

What was the bit (or reality, I think) of Americans buying Hooters chicken wings delivered at an insane markup?

"Hmm, finally, mediocre wings at an exorbitant price, without all those boobs to distract me"

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

From the comfort of their own home - maybe he wanted to impress his wife?

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

That is more than my entire food budget most weeks.

[-] BobDole@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

Matty doesn’t have a real job, he can fucking drive to shake shack himself if he’s gonna tip like that

[-] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

If he does it himself then he can give himself a tip afterwards. I'd suggest a hollow-point but whatever get the job done, y'know?

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

I'm learning about this Matt guy against my will, bear site pls cri

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure Matt can afford a 20% tip

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago
