  It's very annoying that people from the USA assume everyone else is. This coming from a USAian. The screenshot literally shows Mexican pesos

      Figured I'd specify in this case since Mexico is also American, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Mexico is even technically a US of A, because they’re the officially (when translated to English) the United Mexican States, and in America

  Buddy, the screenshot is in Mexican Pesos. Why are you talking about the USA?

    Buddy, I’ll be you four pesos that whoever made that post and is using their phone in English and needing info from the driver is a visitor from north of the wall.

  To agree on an upfront cost, we’d likely have to acknowledge that a fair cost would be too expensive for the buyer and not high enough for the seller, because all our productivity is lining someone else’s pockets. But we’re all temporarily embarrassed billionaires so we grit our teeth and tip to keep up the impression that the status queue is okay.

  Stop. Please stop. The only people who like tips are the ones who receive them.

  It’s a coming of age to all of us who did work for tips when we realize just how much more we made when that was the obligation.

  I did not make as much money per hour as I made as a 16 year old until several years after people called me doctor.

  As my European colleagues ask “why don’t you do it like us?” We do. Constantly. Well we try, but all the good people leave because they can make more money elsewhere.
