@mrsaturday @apropos if tipping were a "real thing" they wouldn't be taxed in any way shape or form

@apropos @sun Except the vast majority of restaurants serve alcohol in some capacity and teenagers are frozen out of being waitstaff due to that. It was always about managing sticker shock and giving the owners a tax cut.

@sun it's just absurd that one meal at an okay restaurant here costs 100 EUR per person, and then they want tips :shrug_yui:

@apropos for teenage part-time staff, one-off tips or rounded-up total tips are okay! don't need a percentage

Blurry Moon@sun@shitposter.world (2026-10-15 08:01:17)
I respect that restaurant is one of the hardest businesses to keep surviving but nearly every other country does it without tips so you can't really say it's "necessary" to not just pay your employees a fucking wage, and it's insane that at a national level the government just said "yup you don't have to pay your workers in a restaurant like you pay everybody else in every other job"

Blurry Moon@sun@shitposter.world (2026-10-15 07:59:07)
@Parzival @CobaltSasquatch @Grumblesock the entire tipping mess is, yet again, a product of government law institutionalizing how tips are handled, which forces it into predictable but obsolete categories. there is no reason, it is historical accident. if you want to talk about origin, it's because originally, your meal is always expected to be a certain quality but your service is highly personalized and the level of service varies greatly on circumstances. the problem is if yo measure it against relative value of other things like food etc, like is 25% directly to wait staff proportional to the work the cook does, it's not in 2026, probably hasn't been for 50 years.

@CobaltSasquatch @Grumblesock @sun actually, the one that makes .e mad here the most is tips for places like coffee shops. Like, I used to live by a donut shop where they took tips, and the literally just stood at the till and turned around to grab a donut from a rack. I really don't need to pay you extra for that. I dunno.

I don't understand it. The waitress literally tells the cook what to make and carries the plate. She doesn't grow the grain for the bun, she doesn't raise or slaughter the cow for the burger. She doesn't harvest and cut the potatoes for the fries. She doesn't even cook it. Why should she get 25% of the cost of an item she had almost no role in making or preparing
Blurry Moon@sun@shitposter.world (2026-10-15 07:51:42)
"courtesy fee" means money that goes to cooks, but it also can mean money that goes to the company not the staff. it's a completely bullshit charge.

Retardeeyore@Parzival@shitposter.world (2026-10-15 07:51:04)
@sun @Grumblesock @CobaltSasquatch doesn't even make sense here now. Servers make regular minimum wage here and tipping is still expected- 15% is the cheapskate option... I don't even get why the % goes up over time, like dude inflation is already factored in since it's a percent of the total.

@Rasterman @ZRDR_DelRio catching predators is good but that's not the same thing as monetizing it for mass entertainment. I don't think I'm dissimulating to kill the idea, it's just gross and creates perverse incentives to how you do something important like that.

@ZRDR_DelRio I was watching Hansen's thoughts on the film and he asks the same questions.
He was this 🤏 close to naming the jew. :doge_laugh: Said Hollywood doesn't want to talk about predators, name-dropped Harvey Weinstein as a predator and followed with "maybe we should look into Lance Oppenheim". :grinch:
Blurry Moon@sun@shitposter.world (2026-10-15 07:41:21)
my bias on tipping is I worked in food service so what was "normal" leaned toward the high end not the low end

Well done!
