At this point I wouldn’t be surprised to learn there’s a tablet being passed around so the office workers can tip the company that their company hired to clean this shit… I’m just mad I’m not seeing that money.
Comment on Remember when 15% was the expected, not the minimum?
MehBlah@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoDon’t care. I know its the solution. When it was voluntary, I tipped. Now that its some kind of requirement I refuse. The whole thing about tipping was to reward good service. When you got bad service you didn’t tip. Now its a farce. Now greedy businesses are using it to avoid paying a living wage. Tipping isn’t helping those people in any way. Its just guaranteeing they wont ever be paid enough.

That’s obvious.
Nah, you’re smart enough to know it isn’t. Not supporting those businesses is the solution if you truly believe they are engaging in bad practices.
Supporting them anyways, but fucking over the staff is just you being shitty.

I would ask you the solution but you don’t care if its ever solved and those hard working people get a fair deal.

Don’t support businesses that directly engage in practices you claim to be against. Especially don’t support them and simultaneously make things worse for the staff while you do.
It’s not rocket science.

so those waitstaff don’t get tipped by you either way? How is not tipping them hurting them more than not going there?
That’s like crying about not tipping the waitress who didn’t serve you, because you weren’t in her section of the restaurant.
well, better eat twice, at two different tables, so that both staff get tipped.

He told you the solution, you didn’t need to ask. It was right there in the comment you’re replying to.
I get where you’re coming from, and I understand the frustration. But he is right, you’re only hurting the victims, not the perpetrators.
