Work Reform

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.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

But don't forget about the hardworking shareholders either.
They do this in every city. Restraunt industry is cancer.
I avoid tipped places as much as i can. Counter serve preferred.
This is why I can never understand why people would pay baristas. It's counter service, just take your coffee and go. It's also part of the reason I don't go to coffee places. Especially when Dunkin' Donuts' coffee tastes better than Starbucks.
Starbucks smells like cigarettes.
They also burn the bujesus out of their coffee so it tastes the same everywhere. McDonald's does the same thing. Like crap. But it's ok because they're really just adding a modicum of coffee to effectively a milkshake.
Dunkin kind of expects you to just do cream and sugar, so the coffee has to be better. So it's decent coffee. Decent coffee isn't hard. It's fucking easy. My 15 dollar Mr Coffee makes decent coffee. 2 million bored teenagers around the country are all capable of pouring grounds in to a machine and pressing a button and producing decent coffee.
Starbucks wants to sell you a bunch of other shit with coffee.
I think the Starbucks burnt beans also are so that when you add it to some sort of milkshake, you can still taste coffee. I drink black coffee and I think I'm a super taster so it's the grossest flavor outside of trying to drink an IPA
My hair stylist (owns her salon) recently implemented a no-gratuities policy. Everyone has to charge whatever they think is fair to make up for there not being a gratuity and clients know exactly how much the job will cost with no pressure to go higher. This is how everything ought to be.
You're describing a regular transaction. Maybe next you'll post sales tax on prices too!
Tipping has lost It's meaning in the U.S.
I'm gonna reply to this then it's just gonna ask you a question... Stares off in to space
I give up on trying to understand this
I was at a concert recently and the merch vendor was asking for a tip. It’s like, I bought a t-shirt, why am I tipping you? Did you make the t-shirt yourself?
Even if they did make the shirt... Is that not why they're selling it?
There's an episode of impractical jokers that really stuck with me. They pretended as bellhops at a hotel, they instructed each other to be as rude and unhelpful as possible like hopping on the bed with shoes on to change a light bulb, taking a shower after showing the guests the room, etc. 3 out of 4 guests tipped them.
