It's a courtesy
(lemmy.world)
Never tip. Make employers pay proper wages.
Sadly, employees will blame you for not tipping instead.
"It's just gonna ask you a quick question"🙄 I despise this distancing language. "It's not me asking for a tip, it's the computah"
big ol lick across the palm and then other.
best i can do is upvote
But are you giving 1.87 updoots (after taxes and tips)?
it didn't cost anything up front, so go big! 1000% of $0 isn't even a nod of acknowledgement.

To look a bit more sane and show signs superiority alternative: “there is no god.” leaves
Here's a tip: don't shove that phone in my face unless you want it smashed.
Please tip. They don't pay us here
Please unionize. We don't tip here.
How about getting paid properly?
I think the post is about manners, not paid door personnel. That said, yes, we all deserve a living wage.
Make eye contact as you type in "custom tip" "0.00"
American men.
8 out of 10 American women let the door slam in my face. It is very much not a reciprocal thing.
Oh god, Reddit is here
Always ask for a 50% tip
Yeah, starting at 10%? What is this 2021?
I love in Massachusetts, servers and voters made sure they will never earn a living wage lol.
"Massachusetts Restaurant Association, which says the wage hike would lead to higher operating costs, lower income for servers, and rising prices for consumers. The Committee to Protect Tips, partially funded by the MRA, has raised more than $1.5 million for the lobbying effort against Question 5."
"The industry group, which represents restaurant owners and operators, cites an online survey of servers and bartenders conducted by research and consulting firm CorCom Inc which found that of 351 respondents, more than 90 percent wanted to keep the system as is."
🤬 all these 🤬s:
- https://www.protecttips.org/endorsers That is all.
Ending the tip credit (where employers can pay less than min wage as long as your tips put you at or above min wage) would remove one of the biggest sources of wage theft in America.
I personally was a victim of this when I was a teenager. I worked at a shitty diner for $2.13 an hour and I didn't know my employer had to make sure I was making at least $6 an hour or whatever (it was a couple decades ago)
I am currently a tipped employees and I support ending the tip credit (I don't live in Massachusetts tho).
Honestly tipping is a dated practice. It should end. Removing the tip credit won't kill it though. It'll just help protect the vulnerable.
Amazing how it can simultaneously make it more expensive for consumers and lower wages for workers. Where's that extra money they'd charge be going??
