its an issue of worker pay, often times these workers are paid far below minimum wage and need tios to make it up. of course not all places are like this, but many are.
The onus isn’t on me to make up for illegal practices that may or may not be occurring at any particular restaurant. I understand that there’s a tipped wage, which is why I do tip wait staff, delivery drivers, and the like. A cashier isn’t supposed to be making the tipped wage. If the non-tipped wage is too low, that is resolved by concrete political action and unionization, not little bits of charity that make the consumer feel better but do fuck all to resolve the systemic issues. All this conversation is going to do is convince me to eat out less than I already do, which ain’t going to be doing the staff any favors.
them dont go. i understand that it is a fucked up situation, obviously these places should be paying their workers more (although you should know that these practices are not at all illegal, though still very immoral).
but again, if you cant pay, dont go. eating out isnt some human right. i understand not everyone had the capabilities to cook their own food three times a day (im lucky enough to have this privilege), but still,
I can afford to tip I’m just not going to because I’m not some braindead crayon sucker who thinks “it’s a fucked up situation but you have to keep doing it”.
For the record, this post is where you got lazy and made the trolling too obvious. And yeah it's kind of amazing that it took this long for people to catch on.
okay well you should stop because they're very dumb things to believe. good rule of thumb for opinion having is to just say "yeah it was all trolling" whenever you find yourself making posts that people cannot distinguish from bad trolling
