When did he transition to a man? I’ve only ever seen him with huge jugs. Good for him.

A local ice cream shop asked me to tip on the very first screen when I swiped my credit card. You scooped ice cream a couple of times and put it into a bowl. Ridiculous.

In Cupertino there was a self serve yogurt shop (I think it was called Yogurtland) where the cashier only rang you up by weight and their checkout system asked for a tip, but they never offered to tip customers for doing the majority of the work.

Here's a tip. Pay your employees better.

Profit trumps wages. Always has.

I love punishing low wage workers while making statements on how the system should change.

"Oh, you thought you could afford to take a day off this week to help an elderly parent make it to a doctor appointment? Nah, get fucked. You can't afford to that and buy groceries."

It sucks that low wage workers are stuck in the middle, but corporations are also relying on customer guilt to pay their labor costs while posting record profits.

It's not really fair to blame the customer for that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So your saying we should reward the buisness for their poor practice by giving them our money and then protest the practice of tipping by not giving the low wage worker any?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It’s not up to the customer to directly pay the wages of restaurant employees, period. No one is ever “owed” a tip. The food service industry convinces their employees otherwise, and the result is employees blaming customers for the wage theft that the employer is committing. Blaming customers for not tipping is misguided.

I never tip if I’m picking up takeout food, but I will always tip if I’m eating in or if I’m getting it delivered to me.

I wish tipping was not a thing in the States, I’d rather pay more upfront and not have to tip :V

Sounds like you're all "tip", actually. 🤌🏼

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Places that used to not ask for tip now asking for tip(when I'm just picking up my order) and I know that shit isn't going to the workers.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I will ask workers what the tip-out policy is at questionable places (i.e. Fast Food Service), most of the places that put in these tip screens do not actually tip-out or have some insane policy to make sure workers never claim the money and/or only a small percentage. Like if a tip jar would seem out of place and/or wasn’t there before a store’s POS upgrade I generally assume the management is pocketing the tip (i.e. Five Guys Burgers, cash goes to employees but I’ve been told by a few cashiers that credit card tips seem to vanish into thin air)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If you order carryout from a sit-down restaurant, it most likely does go to the worker who's hired to get your order.

I'm not defending the practice because that doesn't seem like a situation where you should have to tip, but just sharing information

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Wait staff and bartenders check you out at sit-down restaurants, not cashiers.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

When I worked there, we had a dedicated carryout server, and she came to us with previous experience doing the same thing at other restaurants, and last time I spoke to her she was doing curbside at yet another restaurant, so either you're thinking of fast food, or you're conflating your personal experience with other different restaurants, or you're making assumptions

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

A dedicated carryout server is not a cashier. A cashiers just rings you up. Fast food places like McDonald's have cashiers.

Restaurants that are the equivalent of McDonald's with cashiers and no table service started putting the option to tip there when it never existed prior when they switched to those flip around screens. That is what this meme is mocking, not servers at restaurants with table service.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Right, which is why I was not replying in a top level comment, and I made clear what I was talking about. Take a chill pill

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You told me I was making assumptions and I simply clarified that I knew what I was talking about.

No need to project your anger on me.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm talking about sit-down restaurants, and you came into the thread to tell me that I was wrong, even though you're talking about a completely different thing

But thanks for reminding me why I never want to go back to reddit

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

You were talking about sit down restaurants as a reply to someone talking about non-sit down restaurants. Thought you misunderstood, but apparently you just wanted to be wrong.

Have fun with that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (5 children)

All the assclowns who think that's tipworthy better be tipping at McDonald's too

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

In your mind there exist people who just tip every time they're asked no matter the context?

I wish I lived in a world where people could literally afford to be that dumb.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I actually know they exist, and they're hypocrites because they don't tip at McDonald's

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (8 children)

Right because unless you force a tip to an employee without being asked, likely against company policy, and incredibly awkwardly, then you are a HyPoCrItE.

I actually find that a good chunk of people who use the word hypocrite either don't know what it means, or cram it into scenarios where it's a huge stretch, or a combination of both.

Most people do tip every time when asked. The social pressure of an employee standing over you while you decide whether to tip or not pushes most to just hit one of the tipping options just to get out of the uncomfortable situation.

It's made intentionally uncomfortable so that they can squeeze an extra couple bucks out of people for no reason.

My tipping habits are purely chaotic whim or lack of attention in the moment. I accidentally tipped $70 to the guy who tinted my windows the other day.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

My tipping habits are ask you boss for a raise. I'm already paying for the service through predicated prices.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Greasing palms can accumulate good faith benefits. But I mean, tipping for a fast food burger, yeah... probably no tat for that tit.
