It looks to me like he loaded the picture to Google images or chat gpt or whatever then what is here 2nd sentence onward is what it printed out and he copied and pasted it.

There are places like Sugarfish, that actually ban tipping. That’s necessary, because otherwise we still stay in that cycle.

They also are adding a 16% service charge, which is kind of like a mandatory tip, but they have a good reason for it.

The reason is that if they would put actual price on the menu they would be perceived at more expensive (people are dumb) so they impose this service fee to look competitive.

I prefer that approach. Ideally what should be done is as someone suggested is to ban tipping through a legislation.

One of the greatest achievements of restaurant owners was to pay waiters sub liveable wage and make them blame customers for it.

I like to see the “endless wave” of people wanting to work for money that doesn’t even let them afford a place to live.

People have this misconception that things are set, while in reality employers will pay as little as they get away with and that works both ways.

Tips are what let’s them get away with, by paying tips you are actually subsidizing the owner of the restaurant.

It is amazing that they managed to pay their employees so little and also convince them to be mad about it at their customers not them.

Reminded me of https://youtu.be/ZaZPiwxPqO4

When we had covid servers learned how they are being screwed when they tried to use unemployment benefits.

This won’t end until people stop paying tips, we have fucking stores now asking to be tipped.

People should stop paying those “voluntary” tips, and servers should go to their employers asking for a raise or quit. That’s the only way this can change.

The whole tipping system is broken and unfair (for example how much do cooks (who do the majority of work) get?)

I mean look at US delegation.

• Kushner - son in law of trump, a real estate guy
• Witkoff - a stupidest person in any room he enters
• Vance - zero experience in any negotiations
• then the Pakistani proxy which supposed to negotiate on our behalf, but because he is proxy it is like playing game of telephone

Oh yes you would “tip” 20% if they just raised the price of the beer 20% and gave that to your server, it’s functionally the same but instead of being up to you it is forced, and it’s not called a tip anymore, but it’s still there.

If it is up to the customer, why they make it a big deal when the customer won’t pay the tip?

If the value is the tip is mandatory, then raise the price by including it.

All the tips do is subsidizing the restaurant owner, because they allow them to pay less.

The problem is that the media (owned by the epstein class) also didn’t want to talk about those things. So the algae and UFC are perfect excuses to have something else to talk about that doesn’t really hurt trump.
