I feel like dealing with tipping culture is a byproduct of just giving people more time to recover from a weeks work.

Like a 4 day work week for example. Pay adjusted so no one loses money. People have more time to relax and recover from work, actually live their lives. They cook more, and places like DoorDash can't parasitically siphon money off of people who are just desperate to rest.

I can't believe I've been conditioned to think this is impossible because it helps people too much. Sometimes I hate the U.S. .
