  “My boss pays me fairly so I’m going to suck ekstra at my job” what a great take

  Millions of people do good work on a flat wage. If you need to be bribed to care at all about people, get out of the service industry.

    Imagine this guy at a strip club

    “You expect a bribe simply to view your buttocks madam? You are in the wrong line of work if you expect charitable handouts from me! No, I don’t use Reddit it’s called Lemmy actually why do you ask?”

      Imagine needing to go to a strip club to bribe women to see them naked.

  Good thing you don’t know you’re not getting the tip until after I got my meal and service

    The hypothetical here is that tipping isn’t a thing.

  Guess who’s also going to be out of a job

  Here in the UK we don’t tip, people generally get fired if they don’t do their job well.

  This was downvoted by a lot of people who don’t understand the difference between fast food and a service restaurant or the reason service is so shitty at the former.

  It’s kind of true. If you’ve ever been to Europe, the food is excellent but the service is nothing like in the states. Tipping can be confusing and frustrating but the problem is not the tips themselves it’s the CEOs who don’t pay their employees enough to dine out more than once a year.

    In some countries in Europe (Spain, Portugal, …) tips are just a bonus, not their wage. It’s a thank you but with money. So if you tip them you reinforce their good behavior.

    If the tip is mandatory it stops being a thank you and becomes charity.

      Uh, that’s not what charity means, they’re quite literally performing a service for that money.

        It’s corporate charity since you’re paying the wages their employer should be paying

    Idk what experiences you’ve had but i’ve had nothing but downright pleasant service in Europe.

    In my experience, if an american says they’re consistently getting bad service in europe it’s because they’re being inconsiderate or rude

      Oh I didn’t mean to imply it was unpleasant, just certainly not as attentive, you’ll have to ask for refills on water or spend spend a long time waiting. Though that said in Tokyo the service was on par with New York and they don’t have tipping culture either.

      In Europe though, the waiters get healthcare and good wages so they have reason to be happy.

        Ah, well that makes sense.

        I’m partial to the laid back vibes myself, but I can understand it might not be the expectation for other people.
