Australia may be a police state but thank god tipping isn't the norm here. You Americans are so funny! If someone tipped you with hugs instead of money, would you accept that?

I think the root of the problem is the employer not paying enough money. They want to run a business, yet they're too poor to pay their employees properly. They wanna have their cake and eat it too, which in my opinion is kike shit. If someone wants to start a business then they better have a high startup capital. I think the real asshole is your employer. I don't think they respect you very much, but that's just my opinion.

Just become a package delivery driver or something bro. The work is easier and you get paid more. No customer bullshit, just you and the open road. Or become a security guard and nightshiftmaxx.

Maybe that used to be the root of the problem but now the main issue is people make huge money off of tips in America. They expect 20% of all orders on prices which are already through the roof. They often take home many times their wages in tips. Then like many greedy people they start getting jealous of others who are getting even more than them and start demanding and whining about it.

Mr bean worrier here knows full well a guy in a small restaurant around the corner is getting those hundreds in tips while he is merely getting paid a living wage with training, benefits and paid holidays. He wants it all.

Tipping isn't as bad as you think. It's basically the only thing that keeps the restaurant industries service standards from becoming as terrible as elsewhere. Now granted, I'm right with you on the basic concept in general being annoying and stupid, but have you dealt with shit customer service in America? My god you practically need to brandish your gun to get people to move off their fat American ass. At least with tipping when I've got a truly rank cunt of a waitress I can choose to tip zero and watch them throw a fit.

I've had terrible service in America and every other table was still giving them huge tips so it didn't make any difference.

Privilege guilt in America is too damn high.

Americans are stupid about it. The tipping system stops working if you give out tips for bad service. Restaurants aren't a charity. You should tip what you think the service is worth. It's not supposed to be a charity.
