This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I also don't tip

Because I don't go to restaurants with servers

I vote with my wallet that the whole concept is stupid, I hate paying 20% for someone to be fake nice and move food 10 feet

[–] Mango 22 points 2 hours ago

No, it's because their manager who manages the business(hypothetically) isn't paying them.

Just like groceries don't include tax in the advertised price. the system is designed to screw us over.

Nah, that's just in America, because Americans are dumb. Tipping doesn't exist here BTW, because it's idiotic and why would we do that.

(if Americans aren't dumb, why did they vote for Trump twice?)

(I finally found an upside to the Trump presidency!)

Idk where "here" is, but I've seen plenty of foreign countries's restaurants adopting tipping, particularly at higher end establishments, as business owners realize they can just ask for extra and get it.

Almost 70 million people voted against him, myself included. We’re not a monolith. Also, only 11 states tax groceries.

Canadians do tip as well, and you can't blame Trumpets for that 😁

[–] [email protected] 2 points 47 minutes ago

Australians don't tip, and Canadians are just Americans with a French accent.

Left, right and a hook.

[–] gmanlikescheese 4 points 2 hours ago

To be fair, no products sold (that I'm aware of) include tax on the sticker price, and here in TX groceries (unprepared food) are not subject to state sales tax.

It pits the well being of the customer against the well being of the server. It's a pretty evil system. Pay everyone a living wage. Everybody deserves to live.

Replace waiter with "CEO" and you begin to understand why socialists believe what they do

[–] VantaBrandon 5 points 2 hours ago

*Manages the business, pretty sure that is their actual job, but...

I believe in socialism because the lions share of value should be returned to those who exerted the majority of effort, not the inverse, which is the stupid system we have now

Except instead of 25%, it’s 250%.

And the company owners do not walk or have to deal with customers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Of course they don't walk, they ride pelotons

Literally happens every time you get food from a place that serves you from a bar and STILL expects a tip.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 hour ago

gladly would if they'd let me
