Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Doesn't matter if it's "skilled" or not, you're still paying someone to do something for you. And if it was trivial, you wouldn't be paying them.

At a restaurant I'm paying the chef and waiters for making me food, no matter what the quality, or if I could make better or not -- because I didn't want to cook, and they did it for me.

That alone is worth paying someone and thanking them.

If only that cost could somehow be included in the price of the food and not reliant upon a voluntary donation from the customer as a % of the bill.

I agree with that, tips are bad for everything except management (in case they can use tips to pay less and look cheaper) and tax evasion I guess

Otherwise they're highly discriminatory and a bad customer experience
