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.
