I’m sorry you’ve commented on my comment. I demand a tip. Otherwise I’ll spin up lemmy instances that will troll your account and downvote everything you post (spit in your food, make you wait for your food, serve your food cold, make whatever analogy you want here).
See how absurd this premise is? Get mad at your boss, not me. I didn’t hire you.
It’s exactly the same mentality that the other posted is advocating for. If you read their post they absolutely disdain customers. They even stated they HATE customers as they walk in the door (before there’s even a chance to tip or not). I fucking guarantee you that this individual has thought about doing the shit that I’ve outlined.
I’m not defending tipping. It’s unnecessary and overcomplicated. I’m defending the wait staff that didn’t make the rules but have to rely on them to live.
You can’t hate it all you want, but until we’re ready to actually change it at a core level, the bill the waitress hands you shouldn’t be where you try to make your point.
So i see a handful of players here, the customers, the servers, the employer and maybe politicians. Who do you think should wake up one morning and decide not good enough, the system needs to change and I am going to do something about it?
Probably one of the people in positions of authority who are paid to make such decisions. I gotta work a morning shift today, should I ask them if today is the day?
Bro at least send him like ten bucks or something. Buddy went to fucking Afghanistan. I bet you’ve gotten bigger tips for bringing some lukewarm plates of food you didn’t even make to a table 32ft away. And I’m sure you were appreciative of those customers and felt they were doing the right thing, correct?
So, here’s your chance, do the right thing! Send the $10 to the address they provided. If you do and they post confirmation, I’ll legit tip 100% on the next meal I go out for.
Hey at least it’s transparent since anyone can check the wallet address. So you don’t need to wait for me to post a confirmation (https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/bc1qtg5zxzuact47zvsaguns97swn4w3u8qatchgzl). More transparency than we’re getting in this discussion from “career wait staff” who likely get way more than minimum wages and still get tied up in knots that people don’t pay enough in tips (rather than demanding better pay from their bosses). I wonder if these people would be okay making their tips publicly known at the time that people leave the tip… eg, on the check it tells you how much tips your server collected for the night so far and on average for a given pay period). I mean, if it’s being left to me to pay someone’s wages, I should have a right to know how much they’ve collected right?
But seriously. I don’t need the money. I do well enough for myself and have no-one but myself to blame if I don’t take home enough money for my family in a given pay period. I generated the address to prove a silly point.
Yeah I suspected that was your intent. But can’t always attribute tone to text. I’m just trying to prove the point and I think you get it spot on. Demanding tips from or hating/resenting your customers because they choose not to tip you is just nasty behavior when they should ultimately be mad at the person who hires/pays them. This behavior that this lemmite espouse here in the attempt to justify tipping is exactly why I don’t like tipping at all.
The military thing is in the same vein, everyone always claims that the military members don’t get enough for what they do… So when you put tipping in that context to… Where’s mine? That logic fails outright… and everyone knows it. So why keep it floating for wait staff?
Saying this while demanding a sub-minimum wage worker send money to someone who presumably has permanent access to healthcare due to military service (and also admits they are paid well) is peak internet.
who presumably has permanent access to healthcare due to military service
This would only be true if I hold 100% disability. For any other percentage I could only use VA healthcare for service related disabilities. And this all assumes I hold a disability at all.
I’m well paid, because I worked hard to start my company and gain the contracts I have.
Interesting, the rules must be different depending on circumstance because my grandpa had zero issues getting VA care with no disability. This was post WWII though so it wouldn’t surprise me if they stopped giving out healthcare once the US stopped winning wars.
Regardless of your healthcare status, demanding a minimum wage worker give you a tip for your service is absolutely deranged. Especially when the food service worker is actually providing a useful service and not just enforcing imperialism.
Thank you for your service.
Now could you please just tip your waitress for your chicken tendies next time you’re out? I mean it’s what, $6?

The fact that that thought even crossed your mind is super telling.

You are literally defending tipping and saying people should tip. Get a grip.
Did a waitress laugh at you when you asked for her phone number or something? You seem extra worked up about this.

Got bad news for you

I’m not saying you need the money, just that he should give it to you as he would expect you to do for him if the situation was the other way around.
He won’t though. Leeches like that only take from others.

So then you’re talking on topics that you have no information about… and expect anyone to take you seriously?
Demanding tips is deranged from the get go.
