Totally agree with this.

You've brought up very good points. As long as consumers support this it will stay the same.

If tipping was stopped all around this would force employers to be responsible for the pay of their employees.

This can only be achieved by holding the employers accountable. Buy from companies that pay fair wages. Don't buy from those that rely on tips. Vote with your money.

I disagree.

You should not look at the customer to make up extra payment so your wage becomes bearable. This way you are pointing in the wrong direction for a fair pay.

The customer is not the one responsible for you making enough money. Your employer is.

Employers are also the only people gaining anything from tipping. The laws in the US actually allow employers to pay less than minimum wage if the worker receives tips: https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/wagestips Since tipping is not predictable the employer wins by having to pay the worker less. The worker loses.

Also you as the worker are responsible to track and pay taxes on the tips you received, not your employer: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/tip-recordkeeping-and-reporting

I understand it sounds scary when I say "Stop tipping" because it sounds like less money to you, but don't look at me, the customer, for this. Look at the employer. Stop tipping.

Edit: I agree with your take to stop engaging with companies that rely on tipping to change this, though. I think that was not clear from my comment.

Not the original commenter, but the guy juggling 5 drinks deserves no tip. He deserves a fair pay and the stuff the customer buys should be priced in such a way it enables fair pay.

I am not from the US and delivery drivers here don't even expect a tip. I order my stuff, pay exactly what the menu said (and maybe a deliver fee, which is fine to me, you then usually have the option to come and pick it up without that fee) and get my food 30 minutes later.

Tipping is an extremely bad practice that makes the pay of people unpredictable and depending on their situation can make a day with bad tipping a problem for them.

Stop tipping.

Ah, yes. Another weed meme of a person who clearly never consumed any weed.

This is a super common bathroom layout in Hamburg. 1 out of 3 apartments has this.

Not the original commenter, but I think it's a good ending fitting the show. It's a drama and it ends in drama.

Ich habe mich früher auch oft aufgeregt und versucht, mich zu verteidigen, schließlich war ich ja eigentlich immer im Recht, wenn die Autofahrer sich mal wieder daneben benommen hatten. Allerdings musste ich feststellen, dass all meine Mühen und Energie zu keiner Verbesserung der Allgemeinsituation geführt haben und damit sinnlos verschwendet waren.

Dementsprechend ignoriere ich das nun. Lass sie schreien, lass sie hupen, das ist nur ein Geräusch, das irgendwo produziert wird. Sollten sie handgreiflich werden, täusche rechts an, schlage links zu, rufe anschließend die Polizei.

Non-news.

If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't, it doesn't. We gain literally zero information from this article.

I wasn't aware of what you are looking for specifically in a game.

I switched from Tarkov to Hunt a while ago and never looked back, so I like to recommend it to others.

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Hunt: Showdown?

The best extraction shooter out there.

It has zombies. It has wild west. It is balanced. It takes two shots to kill and two minutes to reload. Come to the Bayou!
