But outside of that context, they'd fucking deserve it for their shitty dark pattern UX trying to export American tipping culture into the civilised world. If people want to tip, they can do it using cash (so the money actually goes to the person you intended it to!). Or at most, there could be a little "tip" button in the corner somewhere that then takes you to a page like this. It shouldn't be shoved in our faces like this.

Americunts shit on you when you tell them tipping culture is bad. Like, here in my third world country, where we all earn a misery compared to the minimum wage in burger land, we can say no to tips or just give a few cents or some more...fuck this. Food is already expensive. I am not going to waste extra cash for my food.

Who the fuck defends tipping culture, you're just making shit up to justify your hatred of an entire country

I've seen plenty of wait staff show up to defend tipping in Reddit threads. They'd rather shame customers than demand fair wages from their employers. Or maybe they were all just bots.

I think those people tend to make a lot of money off tips. There have been times I could get way more than you'd get from any paycheck a restaurant would ever be willing to pay, even with the laws changed for that sector, for "less" work. Depending on the place you work at you could have $300+ a night cash Friday-Sunday and that's me going back to what I remember from 12 years ago so who knows what they're able to get now.

I don't even make $900 a week now in a psudo-managment position in a factory. Not that the $900 is consistent there for those in food service, I just think that's one reason people would be openly resistant to the idea of changing how tipping works.
