But isn't it only the front house workers and delivery people on this pay mechanism? Those people aren't involved with a pickup order so you are just giving money to the very business that is already underpaying people. I presume some might split that tip amongst the servers and delivery people, but who knows? Even if so, this is really just charity on your part since those people weren't involved with your food. I'm not going to argue with the ocean here - seems your practice is becoming quite normal, I just don't understand it and think it sadly contributes to the underlying issue and keeps businesses more powerful and employees less.

Yeah, seems one of the big blacklist services (not sure which one my work uses) has picked up a bunch of Lemmy instances. Lemmy world was one of the few I could get on. Looking to leave though due to stability issues and now already dodging piracy stuff when it's pretty banal right now with Lemmy still being really tiny just seems like world is setting a generic tone early and is not going to be a progressive instance when it might matter. With regards to load sharing. Horseshit on that one. If Lemmy is still such a fragile little prop plane that we are supposed to be shifting our weight on different sides of the aisle to keep in flight, it's already doomed.

Can you make a recommendation for a tool to migrate "subscriptions etc."? I'm using Connect if that makes a difference.

Also, Lemmy.world has been very unreliable lately anyway. Does Lemmy.ee have a good reliability record?

More of a fart post innit?

It just sounds like a strange American tax that is paid for food. The problem of tipping is getting worse. Why pay extra for the basic level of food preparation with no additional services rendered? In what scenario would you not pay extra? Why has this become like this for food but not flowers for example?

I remain confused about what you are tipping for at all for pickup orders? I assume you are under 30? Does purchasing food just equal tip, period? Is it totally detached from a service element and just a kind of bizarre tax for young Americans?

Curious why a dollar or two? Do you just generally feel that food is underpriced? Is there a scenario where you would just pay the asked price?

The best thing about gig deliveries is dropoff service imo. I never see the driver so cash isn't an option. Uber eats at least makes it easy to adjust tips and I often do adjust if surprisingly early or if they forget a drink.

It's now expected that you tip even if YOU pick it up. I do not understand

Good luck with the logistics of that. Just ban tipping. It's bad for business, bad for individuals (in the long run), and a highly discriminatory practice.

I'm into hot grills with big nobs

I went whole hog. The sync features are great between computer and phone app (phone app is excellent!) and they actively disable all the terrible shit from chrome. It works with bing/chat gpt too which is nice. They have been very vocal against Google proposed changes and I'm confident they will work around them if at all possible. If not, hell yeah, I'm jumping ship, but I give Vivaldi a lot of credit for what they've done this far. I'm hanging in there for now.
