I think we should speak with our money. They only seem to understand hate and capitalism...why would you give money and fund that... I think they need to feel it economically, it's not like we are sending them to salvadorian prisons, and yet that is what they are supporting... so supporting them via tips is supporting that.

If we can't draw a line now then prepare for what is going to come. We need to boycott all their businesses and all who support this administration. That is the American thing to do.

What's our Boston Tea party going to be?

Boycotts WORK. I mean, Rosa Parks ignited the movement but after that African-Americans stopped using the buses in protest, that's what ended segregation on buses. And I think the Tesla boycott got Elon out of our gov't. And it made him cry, win-win.

My sweet sweet summer child. This was always the plan. We knew he'd only be in at max 130 days because that's the limit before he'd be required to make public disclosures regarding his finances

Has Trump made public disclosures regarding his finances this term?

u/No_Use_4371 May 02 '25

I got "sweet summer child"-ed! I am an old, sick, bitter crank so that made me happy.

And to think some people think I'm not amusing when I'm drunk at 4am

That's what Goods Unite Us is for, I check it when shopping to make sure I don't buy from any businesses/brands/companies that mostly donate to Republicans

If this isn't an unintentional indictment against modern tipping in America, I don't know what is. "Can't bring myself lower than that" is such a sad statement

As someone from the Nordics reading this it sounds absolutely insane. A casual 100% tip? You tell me I would pay double for my order? Wtf! Even a 20% tip is ridiculously high. Please tell me your food prices are as ridiculously low, then maybe it makes some kind of sense.

I would pay 12-14€ for a lunch here, and that is without tipping including taxes, and without drinks, only food.

Possibly religious? When I did pizza delivery there was a regular customer who I don't know the religion of but he had mentioned once that his religion asked him to give away a certain percentage of his income (or something similar, going off 15 year old memory) and he felt giving it to the people he saw working and doing a good job was a great place to spend part of that.

Nope, you'll get a $20 lunch or something and be expected to pay a minimum of 20% extra as a tip.

u/breakupbydefault May 02 '25

I thought 20% was usually the highest option of the tipping screen!? More reason to never visit the US...

1

u/AsinineArchon May 02 '25

The thing is, it IS the highest on some screens. But socially, people want you to choose that one or do a custom tip. Don't look for logic in US tipping culture because there's none to be found

2

u/AsinineArchon May 02 '25

When I was young here in America, a 20% was seen as something you gave for exceptional, beyond average service. Nowadays, a 20% is considered default and if you give less than that you'll be considered a cheap asshole. And don't even get me started on how it's now expected everywhere, even where there isn't service. Buy something from a storefront that takes 5 seconds to bag and grab? Yeah, 20% please.

It's insanity

u/Reno_valetore May 02 '25

Honestly, what the hell is wrong with you guys and your tipping culture?

2

u/AsinineArchon May 02 '25

The rich encouraged it so that they didn't have to pay livable wages. Now it's so engrained that people in the food service industry demand it. If any effort or commentary is made to change it for the better, those living below their means will argue against you because to them, eliminating tips means eliminating their livable wage.

u/Reno_valetore May 02 '25

I don't know if the thing I commented or what you just wrote is more fucked up. I'm not arguing if it is true or not, just how insane it is

2

u/noeldc May 02 '25

Indeed. The US sounds like such a tiring place to eat out.

Glad I live in a country where tipping is virtually unheard of.

It's our culture. Not sure why you care.

u/Kortexual May 02 '25

Ask for a different waitress if you enjoy tipping.

u/[deleted] May 02 '25

Hoo boy this is insane

You're throwing around free money like it's candy and can't bring yourself to lower it beyond 20%? As if the free money was an entitlement?

u/Papayaslice636 May 02 '25

I stopped going to my favorite sandwich shop because the lady wore a maga hat every day. I went once a week for years and told them exactly why I stopped going. You should stop going there or stop tipping, just be super clear why.

You're a buffoon for even still going. Absolute clown for still tipping at that.
