Oh America, come on:

  • end (and stop exporting) that vicious tipping culture of yours. Just pay decent wages to people in customer service.

  • change the design of yours bills, make them easily recognizable, with different colors and sizes like normal curencies.

  • take religion out of the money.

  • and since I'm at it, end gun culture and disarm your people. Also SUVs, end that too. And introduce controlled prices in health services, regulate, regulate, regulate, till it becomes a functional system affordable by everyone.

Thanks. I would love you so much more.

    Tipping is dumb, but tipping in Trump propaganda 10x dumb.

    Tipping seems to be a cultural thing in the States.

    Here in the UK we take the Mr. Pink approach to tipping.

    It's a terrible practice and ultimately hurts workers. It should be banned simply because it promotes worker tax evasion, which is not what I really care about here, but it's a good reason to make it illegal. Making it illegal is only way to stop it in the US. It's absolutely rampant. You pick up donuts At the dunkin store and they ask for a tip now.

    It's similar enough to a real bill for the distributors to be charged under 18 U.S. Code § 475 (Imitating US notes for advertising).

    I believe if you were to take this to your bank and tell them that someone tipped you this and you just want to check it it's counterfeit or real, the FBI would suddenly be involved

    Funny thing is that this guy hates tipping, but they’re going to vote for the candidate and political party that want to keep service salaries so low that tipping is required to live.

    If this person really wanted to kill tipping, they should vote for the other party. Those are the folks seriously talking about solutions that would make it unnecessary.

    They removed god and placed Trump. Are evangelicals fine with that?

    Fuck tipping culture. Rather than begging tips from customers, DEMAND it from your employer.

    They're too dumb to realize that it will have the opposite effect. It won't work like "omg i got an ad for [CANDIDATE X] instead of $20, gonna vote for him!!"

    At first I didn't see any actual evidence that this was connected to Trump, so I figured everyone here was just assuming it was Trump based on how shitty this practice is. I definitely assumed the same.

    (If you zoom wayyyy in his name is there, though.)

    Been a thing for a long time actually. Since before his cult. Religious fucks leave fake bills with Bible versus on them.

    Worked in a resort area and some big church group showed up and tipped using money like that. Like a party of 20 people type group.

    Everyone started calling around to establishment saying if you get a group of 20 and they all look like Jesus folk tell them to leave.

    Cult people using the cult as an excuse/justification to behave like selfish assholes. A tale as old as time.

    When are the rest of us going to get sick of this petulant bullshit?

    Would this be considered counterfeit money and thus illegal?

    To be real clear, the only thing this does is screw over the hourly employees trying to survive on tips.

    It does absolutely nothing to the business, they don't care, at all. It doesn't impact them in the slightest.

    Yes, by law, if someone makes so little in tips that they would be getting paid below minimum wage the business is supposed to make up the difference.

    Assuming that happens for the entire shift.

    In practice, by all accounts... That pretty much never happens.

    Yeah but by continuing to support the tipping system, nothing will ever change. The best thing to do is stop giving business to restaurants with a tipping culture.

    If enough people refuse to eat at these places, eventually employees will start quitting and restaurant owners will have to start paying their workers a decent wage.

    There are plenty of restaurants with delicious high-quality food and no tips accepted. You don't have to be waited on by a server.

    I didn't really get why someone would make a bill with just 2024 on it. Like, do they just really want to make sure that you know about the year 2024?

    Then I saw the small print.
