A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

The top comment nails the true cause of the problem - "The upper classes are just pitting us against each other. Broke delivery driver and broke customer who ordered the food will fight each other over tips, whilst the food delivery app makes good money and laughs at us fighting."

I've gotten a lot of shit over the years for being anti tip. But I think more people than usual are coming around to it with the economy the way it is and every other point of service machine asking for tips at fast food restaurants.

I agree. The idea of paying someone $5-$20 directly on top of an inflated bill for bringing me a glass of water once, carrying plates of food they didn't cook, asking me how my food is while my mouth is full or interrupting conversations to bring me the bill and hustle me out as fast as possible is just patently absurb. I would tip a chef. I would rather bus my own table than continue tipping wait staff.
