You think place like that distributes tips honestly?
Comment on Have you encountered this?

The “I’m just doing my job” defence. Nice.

Are you comparing the waitress not proofreading the math on a preprinted receipt (arguably not their job) to soldiers actively committing war crimes?
AstaKask@lemmy.cafe 1 month ago
No. Soldiers are very much protected from such orders in most countries. They can’t be held responsible for refusing to follow an illegal order.
I mostly hear the argument from civilians helping their employer commit crime.

Have you ever heard of ICE?? They are committing out right kidnappings of citizens “under the orders” of a helmet haired toddler who shits his own pants… really? They clearly are upholding these illegal acts and do not care! They don’t even show their faces! SHAME!

I feels like reasoning like this is why it would never end.
bus_factor@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Shafting the waitress is not going to end it either. Most people wouldn’t notice this, so they’d still keep doing it if you didn’t tip.
The play here is to tip the waitress in cash if possible and slam the establishment on every review site.

If the worker or anyone else not gonna unionise or protest the government for a better minimum wages, then the culture gonna continue. Slammin and jammin the establishment will do absolutely nothing, as with all non-disruptive protest.
I swear tipping is fetishized by american.

stop tipping so waitstaff finds another job and restaurants that don’t pay enough go out of business

Right?
Most people just pay it out of obligation, and the occasional nerd calls us out politely.
Her, whatever will we do?
