It’s not my fault the system is broken. I’m not going to subsidize them. If they want fair wages they should unionize.

I love punishing low wage workers while making statements on how the system should change.
“Oh, you thought you could take a day off this week to help an elderly parent make it to a doctor appointment? Nah, get fucked. You can’t afford to that and buy groceries.”

Stop rewarding the business owner with your money while they’re robbing their employees. You only exacerbate the situation with this mentality.

No, you’ll just subsidize the people exploiting them instead because it’s convenient and you can’t be bothered to heat up your own nuggies, all the while feeling holier than thou about not “subsidizing” the actual worker.
Sounds cool bro.

Uh no. There are limits to tipping no matter how much empathy you have. Thinking if a tip is asked for means you are necessarily fuck the worker means you’re falling for a scam a significant amount of the time, and in cases like that it 100% wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of such owners are keeping the tips for themselves. That shit is illegal but happens all the time without consequence

It sucks that low wage workers are stuck in the middle, but corporations are also relying on customer guilt to pay their labor costs while posting record profits.
It’s not really fair to blame the customer for that.

Yes it is. Knowingly rewarding shitty business practices and making it “nobody’s fault!” is literally your fault. The business has no incentive to change their policies if you keep spending money there.

I’m not sure how I made it “nobody’s fault”. It’s the corporation’s fault for low wages, and the government’s fault for allowing them to do that.
