People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
Also, you don't have to tip pizza or chinese joints if you go to get the food, but you do if they deliver it. Agreed?

get rid of tipping, all the servers and waiters in the country will quit and then those restaurants will be forced to pay their workers minimum wage or so, people will realize after continuous lovely service that restaurant food is loving disgusting and hopefully higher quality restaurants will open up after lovely ones like On The Border and Applebees close down.

If you want to get rid of the 2nd amendment you're like an ultra-beta

i dont think its necessarily ethically consistent to not tip when you are picking up takeout or at a fast food restaurant / fast casual - but its not expected either. i generally dont, though i think its probably unethical if held up under real scrutiny. makes u think

people that dont tip the pizza guy.. .like.. how the gently caress could you live with yourself

75% of servers only claim on average 20% of their earnings for tax purposes. we tip them but they don't even bother to tip their country

Why would I voluntarily pay more than required? I need that money for ammo.

:canada: goon here.
When I was younger tipping wasn't something that was expected. It was a nice bonus for going the extra mile / very good service. Now it seems we are expected to tip all the time at bars and restaurants, regardless of level of service. Definitely moving towards the US perspective on things. Does this mean we can expect to get some gun rights too?

Why does nobody ever talk compromise; just save up all your spare change from cash transactions and give that as tips, bam, you can tip and still have insane personal rules that let you be a bhole to menial workers who rely on your whims

If your job involves working a photocopier regularly odds are it isn't nearly as stressful and physically draining as a service industry job and you're just being a bitch.

how about pesticide applicators? they march around rich people's acres, up and down hills with 100 pounds of equipment on their back for about minimum wage and they don't get tipped. Neither do the latino people who get minimum wage to fix ceilings and drywall. I've been a server before, it is absolutely nothing compared to other jobs I have worked, I only got a tip because I made rich people feel satisfied.

Tipping is stupid. Ubiquitous firearm ownership is also stupid. Thankfully I live in a country where neither of these things is the norm. In conclusion I would remove the 2nd amendment, as an outside observer the outcome would be much more entertaining.

Every other country seems to be able to own guns just fine without the creepy obsession we have with them, and they do that without a 2nd amendment. Sooo probably get rid of that.

our government is essentially run by business men who's only priority is oversaturating the labor pool so wages always stay too low.

afaik it's proper to tip anyone working on your property, not like every time but bigger amounts once in a while. like you should give all the gardeners and poo poo a bonus on christmas and stuff like that

Back when unions got started people were working 7 days a week 15 hour days and eating nothing but cabbage. Today we all go home to Xbox and reality tv and huge bowls of pure fat and sugar, life's pretty comfortable.
