I told you in plain words how I feel about tipping culture. How you choose to interpret that is your business.

I don’t need you to lecture me about what goes on in my own country or about how we feel because you’re not even talking from experience. Go ahead and “fight capitalism” by stiffing people on tips if it makes you feel better. You’re not helping anyone though so stop fooling yourself. You’re just being cheap.

Well, that’s illegal so 🤷‍♀️

We’re not defending the status quo we’re stuck with it. But yes, going to another country and ignoring their customs would make people look at you like an asshole because you’re being an asshole unless you genuinely didn’t know. We’re not dancing around delighting in tipping people. We just know that not tipping hurts absolutely nobody except the server. Maybe you’re comfy with making someone else suffer to prove a point but I’m not.

Ordering from a place that you know pays workers in tips and not tipping makes someone more of a bitch. You’re not changing anything because without legislation there will never be enough people to make it happen. The system is too established. At this point claiming to be working towards change by not tipping is just making an excuse because you weren’t ever going to tip and it’s not fooling anyone.

Why are you so stuck on that? Other industries not doing it doesn’t matter. It’s the system in place now and would take a big effort from everyone (aka legislation) to change. That’s the point. They’re not even defending the tipping system.

This is why I’ve been saying we should be focusing on raising minimum wage before worrying about tipping. I’m telling you right now almost nobody is going to put up with the ass tier job of being a server for minimum wage. It’s short sighted to be worrying about tips just because they annoy you now when that’s nothing compared to just letting everyone make a living wage.

They have to report their cash earnings for taxes… Maybe some don’t but most businesses will at least require it.

Y’all have plenty of your own problems to worry about lol

Nah. Thanks for the info but I’m totally fine with blaming both the government and the shady utility company.

Enlightened centrists are so 2016 🥱

People… Dying? Tf?

This post was a joke but I once had a woman scream at me for an hour that her account number had 666 in the middle of it. She was extremely upset that nobody warned her about this. She wanted a new account AND a refund for the entire time that the “sinful” account was active.

I should mention that her account was 15 years old at the time. The number never changed during that time it was always the same. She screamed so long and hard that they gave her a credit that essentially covered an entire year of service. I hate it here 😀

Was this before or after you tried a few way more complicated approaches to the task that were unnecessarily complex and didn’t work out?

Ahhh, the good old days

I got a standalone wardrobe thing to organize my clothes and now my cats just kinda live there

If I have multiple files or folders named like that it’s usually because I’m working on something and frustrated. They eventually devolve into profanity lol

Cable sucked for other reasons and I sure wouldn’t have ever really called it cheap. There’s a reason people wanted to get away from it in the first place. I’ve been seeing a lot of pro cable nonsense going around and it would be such a pity if the streaming situation devolved back to putting up with the predatory nature of cable-like services.

Ah, I see. You do realize that reacting to “processed” things isn’t really actually a thing though right? Those are all pretty different. Either you’ve got an allergy to something they have in common or you’re letting all the fear mongering get to your head. Oooorrrrr I suppose you may get a bit of a totally normal upset stomach if you never eat anything but fresh food and then have some cookies. Which is again totally normal because it’s now not something that you regularly have in your diet.

Either way, the processed food fear mongering is frankly getting kind of old. You’re not reacting to processed foods because they’re all “processed”. That’s not really how it works with such a variety. The way people with less resources are shamed or made to be afraid of perfectly accessible and shelf stable food isn’t really acceptable anymore. I really wish you guys would go back to being “intolerant to gluten” again or something else for attention. That actually did wonders for the people that are actually intolerant lol. I hear blaming everything on ADHD is very popular right now!

Like what? What super processed foods burn your throat? Genuinely curious.
