Finding out how many people here have never worked in service.
you mean worked in service in the USA?
The shithole known as 'murica isn't a representation of the civilized world.
I worked in service for years. And I, like most who have worked service, later left it for better opportunities. And yet I'm still 100% against tipping, was back then too.
Is there an argument to be made in favour of it? I find it hard to imagine how an inconsistent unreliable largely donation based income is better than a consistent one, but I'm always open to having my mind changed.
This doesn't mean I didn't like receiving tips back then. Nor would I be upset today if you decided to gift me $1000 for my thoughtful contribution to the thread.
Lemmy has a weird anti-tipping streak and it's pretty infuriating.
Most of us here are only anti-compulsory tipping. I have no trouble with tipping people who I think deserve some extra rewards.
