Places that used to not ask for tip now asking for tip(when I’m just picking up my order) and I know that shit isn’t going to the workers.
Yeah, I will ask workers what the tip-out policy is at questionable places (i.e. Fast Food Service), most of the places that put in these tip screens do not actually tip-out or have some insane policy to make sure workers never claim the money and/or only a small percentage. Like if a tip jar would seem out of place and/or wasn’t there before a store’s POS upgrade I generally assume the management is pocketing the tip (i.e. Five Guys Burgers, cash goes to employees but I’ve been told by a few cashiers that credit card tips seem to vanish into thin air)
tip cash right to the person
Isn’t this straight up wage theft?
If you order carryout from a sit-down restaurant, it most likely does go to the worker who’s hired to get your order.
I’m not defending the practice because that doesn’t seem like a situation where you should have to tip, but just sharing information
Wait staff and bartenders check you out at sit-down restaurants, not cashiers.
When I worked there, we had a dedicated carryout server, and she came to us with previous experience doing the same thing at other restaurants, and last time I spoke to her she was doing curbside at yet another restaurant, so either you’re thinking of fast food, or you’re conflating your personal experience with other different restaurants, or you’re making assumptions
A dedicated carryout server is not a cashier. A cashiers just rings you up. Fast food places like McDonald’s have cashiers.
Restaurants that are the equivalent of McDonald’s with cashiers and no table service started putting the option to tip there when it never existed prior when they switched to those flip around screens. That is what this meme is mocking, not servers at restaurants with table service.
Right, which is why I was not replying in a top level comment, and I made clear what I was talking about. Take a chill pill
You told me I was making assumptions and I simply clarified that I knew what I was talking about.
No need to project your anger on me.
I’m talking about sit-down restaurants, and you came into the thread to tell me that I was wrong, even though you’re talking about a completely different thing
But thanks for reminding me why I never want to go back to reddit
however, now that Walmart has pickup for groceries, I often am, “oops I left a wad of money back there, you can put it in your pocket” just to avoid the Walmart tip process online. Who knows who is getting it. If they workers want tips they should fight to be the “bring the food to the car” people or have an honest collaboration with the “pick the food from the shelves for my order people”, I just assume they rotate around.
Anyhow, sometimes it is even pouring rain, and I said, damn! – then the guy said that unless there was thunder or lightning they had to go into the rain.
Here’s a tip. Pay your employees better.
Profit trumps wages. Always has.

In your mind there exist people who just tip every time they’re asked no matter the context?
I wish I lived in a world where people could literally afford to be that dumb.
Most people do tip every time when asked. The social pressure of an employee standing over you while you decide whether to tip or not pushes most to just hit one of the tipping options just to get out of the uncomfortable situation.
It’s made intentionally uncomfortable so that they can squeeze an extra couple bucks out of people for no reason.
And the POS systems make it much easier to tip than not.

Good thing I’m socially inept, I’m oblivious to such pressure…

Right because unless you force a tip to an employee without being asked, likely against company policy, and incredibly awkwardly, then you are a HyPoCrItE.
I actually find that a good chunk of people who use the word hypocrite either don’t know what it means, or cram it into scenarios where it’s a huge stretch, or a combination of both.
likely against company policy
I can somewhat confirm this. I’ve worked at Wendy’s, and it was explicitly prohibited to accept a tip. My guess is it would be the same at McDonald’s.

Even more lols after looking at your comment history. It practically never fails if someone says “unhinged” they are a conservative JAQer
deleted by creator
I’m aware you want to seem not conservative
After saying what you just said lol
3rd party here -> isn’t scrolling through comment history an ad hominem?
because it isn’t addressing the point.
However, I’d say that a lot of times the rich people are poor tippers because in their minds “their presence” is your tip.

When I go to McDonalds or any other drive through fast food place I pay in cash, such that the change they would give me back would be at least a 30% tip.
I let them gather the change to give back to me (so they’re not distracted and the till has been properly managed) and then when they go to give me my change I say “That’s tip”, and give a huge thumbs up (I’m not sure where cameras face or if they record audio, and so I want to make it clear in any way that I can that the worker didn’t just steal my change).
I’m not saying that everyone should do that, but those workers are underpaid and if it costs me $10 to make someone’s day a little better, while they’re saving me the time and effort of cooking my own meal, for me that’s money well spent.
When I worked at McDonald’s we were specifically instructed not to keep tips and to place any cash “left behind” in the RMHC donation bin.
Oof. That sucks.
I hope I’m not getting anyone in trouble. I live in a small town and have done this a lot over the years at different fast food places, and I’ve seen the same people enough that I assume I would have heard if there had been serious negative consequences for anyone.
I never tip if I’m picking up takeout food, but I will always tip if I’m eating in or if I’m getting it delivered to me.
I wish tipping was not a thing in the States, I’d rather pay more upfront and not have to tip :V
I love punishing low wage workers while making statements on how the system should change.
“Oh, you thought you could afford to take a day off this week to help an elderly parent make it to a doctor appointment? Nah, get fucked. You can’t afford to that and buy groceries.”
It’s not my fault the system is broken. I’m not going to subsidize them. If they want fair wages they should unionize.
Me too
Uh no. There are limits to tipping no matter how much empathy you have. Thinking if a tip is asked for means you are necessarily fuck the worker means you’re falling for a scam a significant amount of the time, and in cases like that it 100% wouldn’t surprise me if a lot if such owners are keeping the tips for themselves. That shit is illegal but happens all the time without consequence
Lemmy:
It’s all about class solidarity!
Also Lemmy: Unless the minimum wage exploited employee is a cashier, in which case fuck’em.
Context is king: that cashier sees none of those tips because you used your debit card and the ‘tip’ goes directly into the corporations bank account.
Loblaws already has a fat enough margin with the gouging, they don’t need any extra boosts from my just-about-broke ass.
What does Bob Loblaws Law Blog have to say about it?
Tune in next week on the rural juror to find out!
When the cashier has a union and strikes, I won’t cross the line. Otherwise, get over it! Spit in my food if you have too.
I’m dealing with my own workers rights problems, I can’t take on everyone else’s at the same time.
Servers have an established expectation of relying on tips to get a living wage, and often earn less than the minimum wage otherwise. The same is not true for cashiers. Maybe they should be paid more, but that should not be done by creating more reliance on tips to subsidize low wages.
You should never be afraid to not tip. It is optional.
I’ve started carrying cash again for the first time in like 30 years, just so I don’t have to deal with this shit anymore. Fuck off, beggars!
I only use cash cause fuck the bank and credit card company tracking every purchase I make and selling my data to anyone. Not getting extorted for bribes by these fuckheads is just a bonus.
People who moralize tipping are fucking scum. Tip or don’t. Preferably don’t. Don’t make a long list of BS rules when and how much you’ll tip. Don’t go off your gut either; because that’s how you end up subconsciously tipping in ways that are passively racist and sexist. Flat amount.
Tip the same amount no matter what, even if that amount is zero.
Tips are usually pooled with the others that did the “work” you approve of.
You seem really cool anyway.
When did he transition to a man? I’ve only ever seen him with huge jugs. Good for him.
Sounds like you’re all “tip”, actually. 🤌🏼
