Americans be like; “If you can’t afford to pay 69% tip then don’t go out eating at all”

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 103 points 9 months ago

If you're going to say "69%" , you need to call it eating out, not out eating.

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 11 points 9 months ago

It’s only eating out if it’s 69%, otherwise it’s just sparkling oral.

While getting fucked! What a meal!

Also, complaining that things will cost too much if waiters eek by on more than minimum wage.

[-] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 35 points 9 months ago

The cost is literally the same... Restaurants would just be upfront about it then.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

That would be upsetting to the business owners, though. You know - the Job Creators.

If I'm directly responsible for their salary, then they're working for me. I created that job.

You assume the restaurant's prices are connected to wages in any meaningful way. We're paying the wages. That's all food cost and profit.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Eek! They eke out a living on so little!

[-] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

I gotta say, complaining about being on the verge of a recession while going out for a $70 meal really puts my poverty into perspective.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

If all I had to do was 69 my waiter, I'd be eating out a lot more
