Boy, I wonder if misandry causes more misogny…

Lol. I’ve seen a video in China of something like this. It’s a public restroom that requires you to watch an ad accessed by QR code in order to get toilet paper. The future!

They don’t all come back out alive either!

That’s no excuse. Scummy practices are scummy

No, rising prices of menu items increases tips as a proportion. If menu prices stayed the same and you want larger tip %, then sure. But not both. That’s just greedy

Some cities require minimum wage paid toward service employees. This is about $20/hour before tips. They don’t lower their tip expectations because, as you might expect, greed is a thing. You will get treated worse if you don’t tip

I mean, the city I live in requires at least minimum wage paid to service staff. It’s like $20/hour. They’re not going to decrease their tipping expectations because you know, greed is a thing

What does covering more employees over the same period mean? I don’t follow. Also, you’re assuming that customers’ salaries increased with COL and inflation. They haven’t. These policies just squeeze value out of customers. Of course they’re offended

At what point did this minimum change from 10 to 15 to 18 and now 20? Restaurants increase the cost of food items and your tip is a proportion of that. Why would the cost of food increase AND the proportion of tip also increase? That’s double dipping and yeah, people should be pissed about it

I live near a place where the fries come with the burger, but sometimes you have to ask for them. The bean counters assume about 50% of the time that you don’t want them. Lunchbox laboratory in Seattle, in case anyone’s wondering. It sold out a long time ago and has been crap since

That’s not sexual harassment, but it is abuse of power lol

I mean at that point, why aren’t churches paying the funeral expenses? Can’t let a Christian corpse get desecrated! It is their Christian duty!

You’re attacking me to accept shittier service? Fuck that. I’ve worked in food and have been paid minimum wage. I can identify lazy when I see it. You’re just a bigot making conjectures and attacking people for not accepting bullshit service. Get the fuck outta here with that shit

I’ve worked in restaurants too, mate. I get that it may be a lot of work, but the experience also let me know that the service I’m getting is usually pretty subpar. I don’t mind tipping good waiters, but they are pretty rare outside of fine dining. Lazy waiters, like lazy employees in any other job, are always going to be a plague on their industry.

my mindset is that if minimum wage is already a given, then I should be tipping a lot less than standard. Though doing so gets you shit treatment in future visits because tipping is more of a bribe than a remark on good service. Remarkable how all this works, isn’t it?

i already explained it

you know, when I was a kid, safeway used to employ enough employees such that there were no lines for checking out. Well, they got bought out, self-checkout became a thing, and now there’s always a line. During peak hours, you get to wait in line for self-checkout and watch people slowly check themselves out like it’s somehow still a brand new concept. You’re celebrating the decline of service and claiming it’s the “best thing that happened to shopping”. That’s so sad.

you do realize that most large chain grocery stores cut back on check-out lanes because of self-checkout, right? You have to wait in line if you don’t want to use self-checkout because of the cutting back. You’re not saving time. You’re just waiting extra or resigning to checking yourself out. It’s shittier service and you know it.

naw, man. Look at it this way: if you’re checking yourself out, you’re doing labor for them. Maybe every once in a while, you pay yourself a candy bar. Because fuck’em.

at that point, just quit. Right?
