@SassyECUPirate There are attorneys who deal with exactly this in the US. Not sure where you are but https://t.co/2Ak0aBkip1
Might give you ideas to start.
@LGH581910 @E_Viv_B@zukosmadre Ok we shouldn’t have to but that’s not how it is. You can hate it and want to change it but until then the way it works is if you want service you pay a tip.
@Wil_bike@leezyk18@zukosmadre That’s not the system in McD or groceries stores. It is the system in bars and restaurants so yeah, shame on you if you want the service but don’t want to pay the way the service is compensated.
@Just_an_oi@marginallymasc@zukosmadre It’s not “mandatory” in the sense that no one can force you to do it but you are definitely not holding up your end of the bargain if you don’t. In a tipping environment you tip. If you don’t want to tip don’t go order services that depend on tipping.
@Just_an_oi@marginallymasc@zukosmadre Bc that’s not how that exchange is set up. I agree with you- the system sucks and employers shouldn’t expect customers to pay a server’s wages. But that’s the system we have. If you don’t want to participate don’t order service from a place that has tipping.
@Just_an_oi@zukosmadre I mean it’s your responsibility in the sense that you ordered service that is paid for through a tip. If you don’t want to pay for service don’t go out and order service.
@ohheykiwi@zukosmadre Agree, that’s what I said - focus your rage at the employer! But you still have to tip if you want service until the system changes. If you don’t want to tip, don’t order service.
@melshinji @ask_aubry Thank you Mel, kind stranger! I remember Dylan, who seems so sweet, and the stupid tampon controversy. I almost thought the guy in the pic was trying to be nice, like “Here, guys who are scared to buy tampons, you can grab them when you buy beer!” But I was naive.
