[–] Rediphile@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) You guessed wrong. I have a strong opinion against tipping specifically because of working in restaurants including as a server. I did not like the inconsistent pay and would have preferred consistent pay. I'm sorry if that doesn't align with your worldview. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) As a back of house worker, nothing was more disheartening then hearing all the servers go "I only made $200 in tips today in three hours" and being like "I only made $40 because I worked three hours." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rediphile@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago Yep, having worked both sides is probably part of why I see tipping as so silly. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) So you've been a server and are aware of the uneven pay and the fact that if you don't get good enough tips you're making a starvation wage of minimum wage, and yet you still decide "fuck those people who are being exploited by restaurant owners because I don't agree with tipping." That's heartless permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rediphile@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yes, because I'm against the inconsistent pay I experienced and want it to end so others do not experience the same. Heartless is continuing to encourage such a system. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) You not tipping isn't going to result in any fundamental change in the system, you're just stiffing the people who are being exploited. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rediphile@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Me not tipping probably the most meaningfully personal action I can take to help to bring a change to the system, namely ending tipping. It's certainly more effective than continued tipping is at trying to end tipping. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago You could simply not eat at places that don't pay their staff a living wage, because as it is, you're still paying the company to continue their shitty practices. permalink fedilink source parent
