    Roll out nation wide end to sub minimum wage and encourage an end to tipping culture at the same time!

        Just hit the “no tip” button and move on with life. Sure, it’s dumb that it even comes up; but, it’s very likely a case of software set at it’s defaults and the management thinking, “why not?”

        I’m one of the suckers who always tips, but I also worry that those tips aren’t actually getting to the workers. I would much prefer a system that just pays them a living wage!

          when i’m that worried about the tips getting to the right hands, i tip in cash. its a small inconvenience to carry some cash but then i know its going into the employee’s hand. might just be a placebo, but what else can i do lol

          If it’s one of those systems, it’s probably connected to the payroll/accounting system and tips are routed automatically.

      The economic attraction of working for tips was that they were in cash. Most people don’t carry cash anymore, and they all pay with cards.

      The world changed and it adapted to keep corporate profits. None of them gave a second thought to people who work to pay their bills. The people whose time and effort made them rich in the first place.

      Or end up with an even worse tipping culture after the change anyway, like in Canada

      Stupidest shit
