"I am not tipping" - what the fuck? Does anybody actually add a tip to their rent payments?

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 65 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What, do you want your landlord to starve!?

Yeah, is there a best method to starve them or something? How do we ensure humans such as their children don't get caught in the crossfire while starving them?

Fuck that, having piece of shit parents is no reason an innocent child should be hurt.

[–] MightyGalhupo 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never said it was. In fact it is very much not. I’m just asking based on the principle of being able to hurt children, what their parents did/who they are has nothing to do with it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] MightyGalhupo 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wasn’t trying to hurt children because of landlord/tenant parents I was trying to hurt children because I get to hurt children and that’s always a plus.

Bro, they're adding a tip option to vending machines. The world lost its fucking mind. Late stage capitalism indeed.

[–] herrvogel 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Smh my head. I hear that 7 segment displays on vending machines actually get paid fair wages in Europe and that coin slots have a union.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The world lost its fucking mind.

I'm a school bus driver and while it's weird enough that we generally get tips (from the parents, not the kids of course) at Christmas and the end of the school year, a co-worker of mine last year handed out tip envelopes (like what garbage truck workers leave on the cans) to all the kids on his bus. At least he was suspended for doing this, as a bunch of the parents went apeshit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Garbage truck workers what now?

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Every year before Christmas, the garbage truck guys "helpfully" leave an envelope taped to your bin so you can leave them a Christmas tip. You've never seen one of these?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Never ever. That's quite a concept! So you leave it taped to the bin for a week with $5 in it?

And what happens if you don't tip them?

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife 0 points 1 year ago

No, you generally put the money out with the bin on the morning it's picked up (and it's more like $20 to $50 lol). My neighborhood is quite safe but even here an envelope filled with cash wouldn't last a week.

Nothing would happen if they didn't get a tip. There's a huge turnover in that job and none of the workers ever last more than a couple of months, so even if they had a grudge against you they'd be gone in no time.

Garbage workers in my city are city employees who make decent pay

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Did anyone tip?

Until it's not, so many memes and light trolling turned from fun to conspiracy theories.

[–] MyFairJulia 13 points 1 year ago

There was a landlord on TikTok who essentially asked for tips. He had his friend play a renter that refused to tip him and argued that if waiters get tipped just for delivering the food to the table, the landlord totally deserves a tip for being available for calls and fixing stuff.

One giant shitstorm later and we end up with this meme and the landlord making a TikTok in which he said that it all was a joke.

[–] Witchfire 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's usually called a "convenience fee" and is mandatory

[–] iAvicenna 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I am also completely puzzled by this. I even started imagining a situation where the landlord is so poor he is working as a waiter in a restaurant. Otherwise this doesn't make any sense.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

O he'll get the tip alright<3

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 1 points 1 year ago

The tip of where to find good Thai food

[–] A7thStone 1 points 1 year ago

Why give them the tip when they go balls deep.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife 1 points 1 year ago

I'm a landlord and a school bus driver and I am poor as fuck. I bought a cheap house that needed a huge amount of renovation work, and I now rent it out while I live with my elderly parents. The rental income represents about a 50% increase over my salary (assuming nothing goes seriously wrong with the house) but I still make less than $40K. Not every landlord is the guy from Monopoly.
