I got chased down the street on my first day by someone I tipped. I didn't know it was actually taboo. Apparently tipping is an insult. The staff chased me down on the street to return it to me.
Employees who won't be able to make a living will go elsewhere. it's not easy and instant, but eventually if a restaraunt can't staff itself, it will collapse.
We should absolutely not be subsidizing restaraunt owners who are only keeping a float by paying low wages. if they can't afford to properly pay their staff, they don't deserve to operate.
Why is your problem here that people don't want to have to pay additional above the expected posted fee for their food?
the same argument can easily be asked, why the fuck are you supporting and allowing for restaurateurs to pay 2.35/hr?
Stop encouraging greedy bosses by subsidizing their workers for them.
This is ridiculous amount to tip. Good on you for being frivolous and not caring how much you spend, but understand that by your further escalation of tipping you are directly contributing to the businesses that are getting away with it.
Not 10 years ago, expected tipping was 10-15%. Now you're throwing 25-30? Or 50? you realize how unstable, unrealistic and how bad a precedent that is setting?
I have no easy solutions.
There's an easy one that could be legislated tomorrow by any states.
Raise minimum wages and enforce it throughout ALL workplaces, including wait staff. Nobody should be earning less than a living wage just because they're restaraunt staff.
Sure, but on the flip side, I'm paying for the service already. It's not on us to subsidize the cost.
TIpping was meant and should only be done as a reward for job well done. Not a defacto standard expectation just because you did your job.
That's what your pay is.
NOW, go fight for better wages. Unionize, promote higher minimum wages, be the change you want to see. But sitting here and bitching out customers because they don't tip is a you problem.
thank you.
I am trying to get into Lemmy after Reddit's descent into a hate filled fest of terrorism supporters and foreign bots trying to disrupt communities.
I have been very hesitant to post and participate here because there are several communities that seem to be going down the same path of being formed to exclusively pushed one specific narrative.
For example /c/WorldNews should be deleted as well as the mods. it isn't covering world news. They have posted a single topic for one point and removed anyone else
that is against your ToS as well since it's being used to push hate and racism.
Sorry for the absense for the last month for anyone of you still watching. Will try to keep up and be more active posting.
I hope others will follow along and help make this a community.
WHY ARE THERE ALWAYS TAPES?
😂

That is not opening a job for a millennial.
Exactly. My generation needs our shot at fucking things up first!
I can understand the costs that are associated with it.
What I cannot understand is how poorly this was managed. I've implemented systems that have cost several million dollars. And I have had to be able tos how the paperwork for those costs and where they went.
Like , looking at what Arrive Can was intending to do. The scope of it's ambition and how wide spreading it was meant to be. I can see the costs being somewhere about right.
But fuck sakes where's the audit trail? I'd be fired for this lack of management in my profession
