I don’t, I have no intention of ever heading to the (actual) crapsack country of AmeriKKKa. And I know I’m not missing out on anything by doing so…
Where am I demanding to shake down proles to support tipping? Are you deaf?
Where did I say you were demanding? But you clearly promote it. Do you have any self awareness, or is the burgerrot too ingrained in your mind?
Why do you demand to be served? Is that luxury that unavoidable?
And what is luxury, exactly, by your books? Fast food, street food? Some modest meal? Or perhaps you’re trying to paint a picture of the serving experience being the customer getting waited on hand and foot like royalty, or getting served the ambrosia of the gods? I know you Americans are a bit loopy (and in some places this is actually true) but really now- both in regards to the fact we both know it’s not the norm nor generally desired by most people (it’s part of the toadying process of your nonsense country due to wanting such tips). Here in thread we even have people talking about being expected to tip for convenience stores of all things.
I’ve worked as a server before, and also in back kitchen jobs, and I know as well as you do that most restaurants aren’t the “luxury” you’re trying to sell it as, they’re just places people go for some grub. It’s not treated like a luxury in many other places, either, so this is an issue of you (and your culture) putting the “luxury” label on what is actually a pretty frequent and normalized part of many peoples’ day, all across the world. Considering your country pretty much invented modern marketing and propaganda it makes sense I guess, it’s in the culture to make mountains out of molehills and a pleasant breeze out of the smell of rancid piss. Maybe it’s all the “freedom” and “democracy” that comes with every meal in burgerland that makes it luxury?
“Solidarity with the working class” huh? Guess you only do that when it’s beneficial to you.
Seems like your idea of “solidarity” is also incredibly convenient- does “solidarity” to you mean “if I’m being stiffed by my boss, the customers should make up for it with a nice little bribe?” If so, feel free to cry for your notion of “solidarity” (read: charity, if we’re being charitable- otherwise just bribery or passing the buck) all you want, I’m not overly sympathetic, you’re barking up the entirely wrong tree for what’s owed you. Solidarity to me means the struggle, movement, and answer is the same, not that person A has to make up for what person (or business, etc) B owes me. Mutual and communal support is one thing, but if you think you’re entitled to anything else (or will get it from me in particular, when it isn’t owed) I can’t say I’m at all inclined, rather the opposite.
But by all means, continue to promote the practice of implicit begging, threatening, insulting, and fawning for bribes (all at once- and no offense to beggars but this is what your position comes off as to any sensible person or culture) rather than demanding your due from those who actually owe it to you. How’s that going for you?
