no step

While I have long advocated for social interventions re: sugar, such as advertising (especially to children) being regulated like advertising is for the tobacco industry, i would never say sugar and cocaine are equally dangerous lol

Nausicaa is so good

The audio quality for Vox Machina when I tried to start was unbearable not gonna lie

Oh nice. Believe it or not I haven’t watched/listened to any of his games!

The one I picked up from my buddy whenever they want to do something colossally stupid or otherwise unwise is “you can certainly try.” When they hear that they always stop in their tracks and consider how badly they want to do it lol

This thread was very sad to see. I know some people don’t tip but man the reasoning and entitlement I’m seeing is something else

It’s not always a choice

TIL!

That’s a milkshake.

Only assholes don't tip their bartenders when they know it is the primary way they make rent.

I am against tipping culture. I have repeated this in a dozen comments. But not tipping does not end tipping culture or hurt businesses. It only hurts the person serving you.

If you go to places where tips are expected then it is on you to pay a tip. If you don't want to tip, don't go to bars. You can save plenty of money drinking at home with friends. But to avail yourself of those services and then refuse to uphold the part of the bargain we are all aware of is trashy.

You hate tipping culture so much you refuse to participate, but not so much that you won't give those establishments your money? Please. Splitting hairs over specific cases doesn't change the ridiculous entitlement that comes with this position. You know what is expected, you know these people depend on it, yet you refuse. That's a selfish move. Do not try to sell it as some generous action in a great struggle to end tipping culture or whatever fairytale you choose. We both know you don't believe that it solves the problem.

You know, I heard the same thing for decades in the US. Then one party removed a woman’s right to choose and gay marriage is signaled to be next. You’re headed down the same road we are if you aren’t careful.

Then they can go somewhere that doesn’t expect tips. They’re so disgusted with tipping culture that they refused to tip, yet they still want to give their money to the places that encourage it.

People tip at salons too

Go help them then

It doesn’t make sense to you because you’re reasonable and half the people in this thread are cheap and selfish. I’ve seen people say they don’t even tip their bartenders.

Do you actually think your efforts create that outcome? That’s a bit “if.”

I think you’re missing my point, but in your defense, a lot of people are. My saying that stiffing people their tips is wrong does not mean I support the system of tipping. I would be very happy to remove it. But as it stands, it’s still the law of the land. It’s literally baked into US tax law. To not participate does not tear it down, it just punishes people who depend on it. So I don’t accept “I want to end tipping. Therefore, I don’t tip“ as a reasonable stance.

People are conflating my stance of “don’t stiff people on their tips“ with “I support tipping culture.“ That is not the case. Businesses should pay a living wage. This $2.13 nonsense is absurd.

Is there a tipping culture surrounding fast food?

Is there a tipping culture surrounding bars?

There’s your answer.
