      No, they deserved to be paid appropriately by their employer and the customers deserve to have a predictable bill, not one based on the quality of the service they received or the pity they have for the employee.

      I’ve worked for tip for 10 years, tipped jobs shouldn’t exist.

      dealing with the idiot customers and rude Karens

      Of course the customers behave as entitled brats because they’re paying for the entitlement with a tip that can be withheld for any reason. It creates a rage inducing power dynamic.

        So, is that basically why Americans like tipping culture? Because it lets you feel the rush of being in control of someone for money? The rush of being the abusive partner in an abusive relationship?

          Yep, exactly the same shit why liberals were OK with Nazi Germany. Sure some of them they weren’t on board with the mass killings (but lets not mince words here, a lot of them were) but once they got to wield a fraction of that power for themselves, they stopped complaining.

      Exactly! I mean just watch the movie “Waiting”. It is such an accurate portrayal that it should be classified as a documentary.

        18 years in restaurants checking in. I was a bartender when waiting came out. The only thing they got wrong was that we didn’t do The Game, but we started to after we saw the movie.
