minus-squaremrgoosmoos@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up38·19 days agobut I didn’t seek good service. I sought a basic level of service expected of someone doing their job. I don’t need service good enough to justify a $20 tip when I go out for wings and two beers and take up literally five minutes of the server’s time fuck tipping culture, pay your employees. wait staff aren’t special. you better be tipping retail associates at least 10% of your purchases, too
minus-squarethemeatbridge@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·17 days agoTipping culture sucks. You and I agree on that. Servers should be paid decent wages, and tipping should be optional. That ain’t the system we got, though. And you don’t change the system by abusing the victims of the system.
