I love punishing low wage workers while making statements on how the system should change.
“Oh, you thought you could afford to take a day off this week to help an elderly parent make it to a doctor appointment? Nah, get fucked. You can’t afford to that and buy groceries.”
It’s not my fault the system is broken. I’m not going to subsidize them. If they want fair wages they should unionize.

No, you’ll just subsidize the people exploiting them instead because it’s convenient and you can’t be bothered to heat up your own nuggies, all the while feeling holier than thou about not “subsidizing” the actual worker.
Sounds cool bro.
My tipping habits are purely chaotic whim or lack of attention in the moment. I accidentally tipped $70 to the guy who tinted my windows the other day.
My tipping habits are ask you boss for a raise. I’m already paying for the service through predicated prices.
Greasing palms can accumulate good faith benefits. But I mean, tipping for a fast food burger, yeah… probably no tat for that tit.

Tipping rewards the boss. If the workers don’t get tipped, the boss has to make up the difference.
Not even close. I am already am paying for their wages. Fight for equal pay rather then begging for change.
Tell me you haven’t worked a menial job without telling me you haven’t worked a menial job
nah, I’ve worked in the food service industry. Places asking for tips on carryout orders is manipulative and gross.

A local ice cream shop asked me to tip on the very first screen when I swiped my credit card. You scooped ice cream a couple of times and put it into a bowl. Ridiculous.

It’s all about class solidarity!
Also Lemmy: Unless the minimum wage exploited employee is a cashier, in which case fuck’em.

Fair.
It still seems like this post is getting far more support, and less pushback, than I would expect given the support I’ve seen for anti-capitalist, anti-work, “class consciousness”, posts.
When the cashier has a union and strikes, I won’t cross the line. Otherwise, get over it! Spit in my food if you have too.
I’m dealing with my own workers rights problems, I can’t take on everyone else’s at the same time.
Bosses are legally required to make up the difference to minimum wage if a tipped employee doesn’t get enough tips.
If I tip a cashier, then we’re taking money away from the working class to give to the working class, which means there’s no net change. But if I refuse to tip, the boss has to make up the difference and the working class gets money from the capital class.
Therefore tipping is class treachery. You’re depriving the workers of chances to take money from the bourgeois.

People who moralize tipping are fucking scum. Tip or don’t. Preferably don’t. Don’t make a long list of BS rules when and how much you’ll tip. Don’t go off your gut either; because that’s how you end up subconsciously tipping in ways that are passively racist and sexist. Flat amount.
Tip the same amount no matter what, even if that amount is zero.
You should never be afraid to not tip. It is optional.
I never tip if I’m picking up takeout food, but I will always tip if I’m eating in or if I’m getting it delivered to me.
I wish tipping was not a thing in the States, I’d rather pay more upfront and not have to tip :V
