Yes, employers should be paying delivery drivers way more instead of other working-class people making up the difference. Yes, the US system of tipping and the fact that service workers rely so heavily on tips is fucked up. No, that doesn't give you an excuse to not tip the person who's bringing you your treats.

Multiple people called this meme "ableist" and "classist" :agony-shivering: and even more are saying "delivery driving's way easier than making the food and sometimes they deliver it to the wrong place!!! so they don't deserve to be paid more!"!!

If your arguments sound exactly the same as a chud's, you are not a leftist, you are a propaganda mouthpiece for billionaires that would love to see you drop dead. Shut the actual fuck up you PMC radlib swine. /rant

    this is 100% correct on anything that requires tips. It's majorly fucked up to make some worker put wear and tear on their vehicle and burn up their gas that their "employer" (if we're gonna fucking call gig companies that) isn't doing shit to help with for nothing or whatever bs the gig company might be paying them which again is essentially nothing.

    I find tipping as much as an annoyance as any other poor person, obv ideally the companies would pay their employers but thats not the world we live in. Go get your own food or make your own food like the rest of us.

    calling it classicist is rich lmao, it's way more expensive ordering food than it is to just go get.

      it’s way more expensive ordering food than it is to just go get.

      Exactly. Ordering and getting it is waayyyy cheaper so if you can’t cook and are worried about money, just do that.
