Of course the customers behave as entitled brats because they're paying for the entitlement with a tip that can be withheld for any reason. It creates a rage inducing power dynamic.

So, is that basically why Americans like tipping culture? Because it lets you feel the rush of being in control of someone for money? The rush of being the abusive partner in an abusive relationship?

Yes. The whole American culture runs around money.

Yep, exactly the same shit why liberals were OK with Nazi Germany. Sure some of them they weren't on board with the mass killings (but lets not mince words here, a lot of them were) but once they got to wield a fraction of that power for themselves, they stopped complaining.

As someone who has worked in customer service, customers don't need to tip to act like entitled brats.
