  This is why I have stopped dining out, if the business demands excess to then pay staff and without tips staff go unpaid then what is it I am supporting.

  The issue with tipping is an issue with capitalism.

  It is capitalism that has ruined nice things. Imagine the first person who tipped someone because their service was good and it was a nice thing to do. Next other people started doing it as well, which makes the profession with tipping more favorable.

  This leads to a higher supply of workers and lower demand and the market adjusts which means lower pay because “they will receive tips”.

  Also it is easy to vilify the shop owners for doing something that the system encourages and even demands them. We don’t know how or in what ways the shop owners are suffering because of the system.

  Also to acknowledge their suffering is not to say that their suffering is equal to the suffering of their workers but rather we need to identify that everybody suffers in capitalism (except the very rich/elites).

  The way to fix this is to stop tipping altogether. This will hurt the workers for sure but their suffering is necessary in order for things to change, at least under the current system.

  Or alternatively, we can try and abolish the system altogether.

    “There’s no way to prevent this” - Says the only country where this happens regularly.

    It’s not a “Capitalism” problem. It’s a USA problem.

    I mean, tipping culture only seems to be a problem in the US. Countries in Europe and what have you are fine and they are still capitalist.

      Sure tipping for things may not be applicable in eu. But here’s another example: imagine the first person who got a loan cuz they wanted to buy a house but didn’t have the money at the time.

      The bank who lent the money did a nice thing. Other banks and people started doing the same. And because people had access to more money, the price of houses increased to match with it.

      Despite the fact that those people don’t actually have that money and now it is a requirement. Nobody can afford to buy a house unless they go into debt. Again this is capitalism and the free market in action.

      The reason tipping so “people can have livable wage” is not a thing in the EU is because the EU does have a livable minimum wage.

      The concept of minimum wage is inherently anti-capitalistic. It is against the principles of free market.

    Hey I know this is completely off-topic, but do you have thoughts on the moral implications of NATO?

    Even if it is, at current rate, one day we’ll look back and go “remember when tipping was optional, and less than 100%, we were truly spoiled back then”

    Nope

      So, in the article, the tip amounts were 20%, 30%, 50%, and 100%. They also used capital letters correctly.

      I’m not trying to say that a 100% to isn’t crazy, but this photo seems suspicious without any branding, incorrect capitalization and a total of exactly $95.00. Hell, I can’t even be sure that this is an actual point of sale machine, it looks like it could just be a monitor.

  I don’t mind paying for the convenience. I tip well. I do wish we lived in a country where living wages were a thing. But we don’t. We’re a giant slave colony owned by like 5 megacorps.

  My question here is, how much was the bill? 5 or $600?

  • porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    95, lol, the percentages are there on the screen

      Yep. Sure is. Hopefully that makes my blonde moment quota for a few days.

    If you look at the screenshot you can see the bill is $95

  Tip 1% whenever they dont offer a realistic choice

  At this point I’d go full Karen asking to speak to the supervisor, then takling my business elsewhere.

  It is normal to leave a 10-20% tip for certain jobs. However, this is just insane. I would probably lose my shit if I was prompted to leave a 100% tip. That’s completely nuts.

  I’ll tip them ¥0.50 if they started preaching communism and say “LONG LIVE CHAIRMAN XI”, out loud, in front of the FBI headquarter.

  ITT.

  I love the scene where a group of sociopathic murders are all shocked at how scummy someone has to be to deprive a waitress of her wages, as if it’s justified because the owner doesn’t pay her either.

  • Allero@lemmy.today ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It is absolutely justified. Businesses are able to pay employees, it’s just more profitable to move that burden onto customers.

    Result? Customers pay more, and workers don’t have a stable income. The only winning party is a business.

    By tipping, you help the worker short-term, but aid in proliferating a system that makes it so much worse for them.

    That’s why I love cultures where tipping isn’t just uncommon, but is flat out rejected, because workers are paid well and are proud of it.

    • alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That’s wonderful in cultures where that already exists.

      For the waitress though, because of your “morals”, she’s choosing between rent and food.
