Everyone wants a tip now. Fucking EVERYONE.

You want a tip?! Alright. Here's a tip
Try not to get your feelings hurt when you do that stupid little screen spin and I look you square in the eye while CONFIDENTLY pressing "No Tip".

Fuck off! Whitey's tipped out. You get nothing

Guess who I tip? 🤔

Going back to my days as a line cook for a Dallas restaurant, I never understood why a waitress got tipped and the cooking staff didn't. They are literally the messenger girls and we are doing the work. ​

Just the tip and only for a minute

This was at the top of my feed and I read it without context. I was about to start slinging homo suspicion points, but then the feed refreshed and I saw what was going on.

Well, it is what tipping does to people .. something we should never have implemented

Both my parents worked as waiters, and ny mother also tended bar. They constantly complained about the destructive effects tipping had on the work environment. They would rather have eliminated tipping altogether.

I've worked every position in a restaurant except bartender. Bar-back, busboy, waiter, kitchen, expediter, dish washer, and I've never, ever heard any waiter other tipped staff make any remarks like this. The one exception is a tavern I know of where the staff are forced to pool their tips, which leads to the inevitable communism effect - one person works while the others sit on their asses, and everyone gets tipped the same amount at the end of the night. That, is bullshit.

>one person works while the other sit on their asses, and everyone gets tipped the same amount at the end of the night.

My mother went on about this especially. She couldn't stand the idea of 'pooling' tips. That's why I think she came to believe that she'd rather not have to deal with tips altogether, although her tips were a big part of her salary.

We were a strange bunch. Years later when I worked through a printers local, I refused to negotiate 'over scale' with the employer. I worked for the agreed on pay for my classification as per the contract. Had guys look at me like they wanted to kick my teeth in. Hell, one of the reasons I joined the union was to avoid having to deal with employers altogether, yet almost all the membership was working sweetheart deals behind the unions back.

If you'll excuse the jew quote, as Bob Dylan once said "Money doesn't talk, it swears."

Walking away from that environment was the happiest day of my life.

@william_travis @BattleDwarfGimli @Dagnar @JoePrich I was waiting tables at restaurant that decided to impose tip pooling. Within two weeks the entire staff threatened to quit.

Which is why Communism has to be imposed by force. No rational person would ever choose to live under those conditions.

@threalist @BattleDwarfGimli @Dagnar @JoePrich @william_travis That was my argument going in and I was told I didn't understand it was much more fair etc etc. And all the tropes were true. The laziest servers made out like bandits while the hardest working ones saw their pay drop

@JoePrich I think in the past Covid days, they automatically expect at least 15% on their tips, like when they hand you the bill payer handheld machine.

@JoePrich I only tip cute chicks. It makes the ugly ones try harder. I'll tip my bartender, my waiter, and my barber (he could be charging me a lot more for my haircut - he just raised prices to $12).

@LatigoMorgan @JoePrich If I go out to eat with my parents, my father will steal tease my mother when it's time to pay the bill. He'll say "She's cute, I'll tip her more" and my mom will glare at him and shake her head. 😂

@JoePrich I've got another tip: Go above and beyond. Give me recommendations, come back a couple times to ask if I want a refill on my drink, bring me my food on time and clear my table regularly. Then I'll consider a tip, based on the quality of your service AND the quality of the food.

Tipping works just fine in a polite White society.

@JoePrich Only Whites get tips. Niggers will just have to put my beer in the glass or boat back to apefrica bro

@JoePrich I tip waitresses 25% and waiters 20%. Unless they're black in which case i give 5%

@MantisMD @JoePrich If they really work their ass off, they're really busy, polite and paid really close attention to detail, I will tip them well.

@CN32 @JoePrich I'm just kidding, i don't tip them.

@BattleDwarfGimli @william_travis @Dagnar @JoePrich I worked in a bar where bartender/waitress teams pooled their tips, and even that was a constant bickering shitshow.

> bickering shitshow

Exactly. Money is how they keep us at each others throats.
