I’m in the US so I tip people who rely on tips to make it by in this capitalist dystopia, like waitstaff. That’s fucking it. Anyone else asking for a tip can get rekt.
Why is this even an issue? Are people actually tipping everyone now? Stop it! Don’t let people manipulate you and keep your money.
More importantly I tip people who have a direct impact on quality of service to me, without negative society consequences. A waiter can pay attention to me see when my drink is empty, or can sit around talking until an alarm goes off that it is time to check. A waiter can know what is really good/bad on the menu, what drinks pair with the meal - or just take my order. Of course an overworked waiter cannot do any of this, but most of the time waiters are not over worked.
I top for delivery, but I feel dirty as there should be nothing they can do to give me better service that is legal. I feel like sometime a company offering delivery will have a driver who speeds, and that the driver gets tips for breaking the law means the company is liable (read deep pockets and million dollar judgement against them!) for incentivizing their drivers to break the law by allowing them to accept tips).
I feel that in recent years corporations and businesses in general have found that guilting customers into tipping their staff cuts their costs down. So instead of raising salaries, they just place jars on the counters and add screens with tips.
I resent tipping anyone that doesn’t make $2.86 an hour. Separate of that, I also resent tipping wait staff, because again, the employee’s salary should not be the responsibility of a customer, but that’s a rant for another time.
People get paid more than me and I should be tipping them for literally doing their job? Since when is this the new normal? Oh hur dur but it’s service job. So wait, is a cashier at Walmart not performing a service? Should we start tipping them? Or retail workers in general? They don’t perform a service? Is the ER nurse performing a service when I need stitches? Should I tip her a percentage of my co-pay? Fucking insane. Is it only food-related jobs? A chef who hustled to cook your food in a kitchen that’s 120° doesn’t get tipped though, but a “barrista” at your local coffee shop who makes the same an hour is entitled to a tip because they pressed a button? Then you have a massage therapist who makes 50% of $120 in under an hour… but somehow they need a tip too… For what?
Anyway. Fucking hate this shit. But companies have found this loophole where you’re the asshole for not tipping instead of them being the POS employers that don’t pay enough, so that’s the world we live in. Fucking embarrassing.
