Like this clown who thinks food will be cheaper if more cash goes through the owner to the waiter instead of straight to the waiter. Regardless of system the customer is paying for everything, not the owner, unless of course his business is failing. Imagine the entitlement required to desire everyone change their model to make things cheaper for you, at a business that is completely a luxury. You could simply learn to cook instead of whining about tipping. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] circuitfarmer@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Shenanigore@lemm.ee -10 points 2 years ago I literally said it's a (unnecessary) luxury so who is being absurd?

I've visited the USA multiple times and I've gotten tipping wrong every time. the market isn't gonna correct if it goes away because you'll still be paying the exact same amount. This is also not really true. You look at a menu in Australia and the price you see is the exact amount you pay. $20 lunch is $20 on the bill. No added tips or taxes or anything. For the customer, this system is better. Saying that same lunch in the USA would 'have been $14 on the menu in the USA' would not match my experience. In fact, prices for most things were in the same rough ballpark once the exchange rate was factored in. Caveat: my last visit was 10 years ago. My experience may be out of date. 15% was considered a normal tip, then. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Shenanigore@lemm.ee -13 points 2 years ago* (1 child) I'm sorry you're a moron, and I don't take financial advice from people who can't figure out something as simple as tipping protocol. And quit lying, food is definitely cheaper on average in the states, and greater quantity too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hark@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) The food is pumped with filler trash, so the quantity is definitely there, but the prices aren't as cheap as you think, especially for what you're getting. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Shenanigore@lemm.ee -5 points 2 years ago* Are you a foreign to the USA trucker who spent a good portion of the last 7 years south of the border? No? I am, and know exactly what I'm talking about, intimately familiar with farm/ranch end prices and also wholesale prices as I now own a restaurant. I'm the rare person who's worked at every end of the food industry and the middle too, as well as being a frequent customer in 22 states and 8 provinces. and very familiar with currency conversions from all the commodity rates, shipping and ordering. Meanwhile you are some fucking guy saying "nuh uh" who likely needs to go to wikipedia to try describe current American farm subsidy policy. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children) The difference is that on slow nights, staff get paid less, which is fucked up. The business needs to wear the cost, because they reap the rewards, which is the narrative capitalism supposedly is about. Tipping sucks, I'm glad we don't have it in Australia. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 6 points 2 years ago another difference, like it or not, is that tipping allows for discrimination. Black service providers are tipped disproportionately less than white service providers. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Shenanigore@lemm.ee -6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Oh look, an Aussie that needs you know that. Yes yes, everything is better there, it has to be, why else would y'all spend so much time trying to convince everyone of it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Tipping does still suck though, and the way it is in many states of the US, slow business literally means employees get paid less, which is pretty fucked. Australia certainly isn't perfect, and don't let anyone tell you how great Medicare is here because it's not what it uses to be and slowly but surely slipping into private health insurance hell due to its languishing, but heck, defensive much mate? I am glad that I don't have to deal with tipping. Tipping is trash and seemingly many Americans agree it's trash. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Shenanigore@lemm.ee -4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Not defensive, I really don't care for Australians, they've a way of conducting themselves that I find very fucking irritating. New Zealanders i can get along with. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm sorry for my place of birth, and I'm sorry for liking the fact I don't have to tip because of my place of birth, I guess? This is just a strange internet interaction, but may I suggest not letting people you're not a fan of them because of their nationality? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Shenanigore@lemm.ee -3 points 2 years ago Nah.

[+] Shenanigore@lemm.ee -12 points 2 years ago* (2 children) I don't think a lot of Lemmy understands it doesn't matter how you are subsidizing the wages, you're doing it regardless. Like this clown who thinks food will be cheaper if more cash goes through the owner to the waiter instead of straight to the waiter. Regardless of system the customer is paying for everything, not the owner, unless of course his business is failing. Imagine the entitlement required to desire everyone change their model to make things cheaper for you, at a business that is completely a luxury.

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) Dude, everyone understands the tipping system This is not true. I've visited the USA multiple times and I've gotten tipping wrong every time. the market isn't gonna correct if it goes away because you'll still be paying the exact same amount. This is also not really true. You look at a menu in Australia and the price you see is the exact amount you pay. $20 lunch is $20 on the bill. No added tips or taxes or anything. For the customer, this system is better. Saying that same lunch in the USA would 'have been $14 on the menu in the USA' would not match my experience. In fact, prices for most things were in the same rough ballpark once the exchange rate was factored in. Caveat: my last visit was 10 years ago. My experience may be out of date. 15% was considered a normal tip, then. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Shenanigore@lemm.ee -13 points 2 years ago* (1 child) I'm sorry you're a moron, and I don't take financial advice from people who can't figure out something as simple as tipping protocol.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children) The difference is that on slow nights, staff get paid less, which is fucked up. The business needs to wear the cost, because they reap the rewards, which is the narrative capitalism supposedly is about. Tipping sucks, I'm glad we don't have it in Australia. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 6 points 2 years ago another difference, like it or not, is that tipping allows for discrimination.
