(yeah i know leftbook is generally bad and no i didn't expect anything better but still)

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

    You got real “never worked for tips” vibes You got real "Poor people shouldn't have luxuries " vibes. Tipping should be abolished, and pretty easily can if people stop supporting it. But hey, clearly neither of us are going to change our minds at this point. I'll keep tipping, you keep tipping.

      been poor my whole life have you? the point is if I am poor, and i'm getting paid to deliver shit, and some dumbass doesn't pay me to deliver it i'm gonna be pissed. And it's a shitty thing to do.

      tipping should be abolished, but not paying them isn't some "vote with your dollar" shit whereby not "supporting it" is gonna fix it. What kind of smooth brained libshit is that? lmfao

      I’ll keep tipping,

      see that you do
