Comment on An American in Paris
MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 1 week agoI don’t know any Americans that don’t tip. I know Americans that avoid eating out because they don’t like tipping culture, but I’m not sure if many Americans agree with the bottom panel even if they don’t like tipping.

Nah, you’re wrong. I’ve talked to many who hold that opinion and think it’s actually morally bad to tip because if you don’t tip, the workers will just quit thus forcing the employer to increase wages. On Lemmy too. It’s not an uncommon opinion.

Aren’t you Canadian? I didn’t say no Americans hold that opinion, I said I don’t know any. You may know a lot of Americans who feel that way, but the vast majority (81-92%) tip for sit down service. That sentiment may be more common on Lemmy than IRL, but even on Lemmy people seem to be against exploiting the worker. Lemmy is not a very accurate representation of anything, not even of the Lemmy user base.
