    Tipping culture in the U.S. is fucked.

    If you don’t tip or tip very low, you’re using the employer’s negligence as an excuse not to pay the service workers a living wage.

    If you can’t afford a healthy (20%) tip, then you can’t actually afford the service.

    What are you getting at, really? The tipping culture is fucked, and yet it falls on us, not the employers, to unfuck this shit?

    Don’t tell me you’re one of those people who acknoledge climate change is due to the big corporations, but it is the consumers’ responsibility to save the earth.

    I’m not from US, and when I’m from, we’d pay only as much as we’re legally obligated to, unless the service is really good.

      Laughing in European, where tipping is just not a thing.

      20% tip needed for the service? Fuck off then , I will never go there.
