    Funny thing is that this guy hates tipping, but they’re going to vote for the candidate and political party that want to keep service salaries so low that tipping is required to live.

    If this person really wanted to kill tipping, they should vote for the other party. Those are the folks seriously talking about solutions that would make it unnecessary.

      If you try to explain this they’ll just go on a unhinged tangent about how Trump single handedly saved the service industry. That, or something equally stupid.

        Yes, let’s not pretend that these are well-researched positions that make sense. They’re identity statements.

      Assholes like this love tipping culture. It gives them a feeling of power over people they see as lesser.

      I find these types don’t hate tipping, they think servers deserve to beg for scraps. They also just don’t think it should be them doing the tipping and act like what they gave you is more valuable than the money.

      These are the same idiots that will go into a store on Christmas to shop and then rant to the cashier that they shouldn’t be open on Christmas. They refuse to have self awareness.

      While I do believe the minimum wage is too low and I am wanting it raised, I don’t think raising it will stop restaurants from keeping tipping culture. Unless they implement laws to dissolve tips, it makes no sense financially for restaurants to end tipping. Even landlords are getting in on tipping.
