wages in the USA need a ~50 or 100% increase in most places. Yet the only increase that most workers have seen recently has been an increase to tipping. The amount of places that ask for tips has easily doubled in the last 2 years. There is tipping everywhere now and while I want workers to get more money, I am also a worker. 20% extra on a large amount of purchases I make is pretty rough. Should I tip workers who get paid more than I do? Should I tip while unemployed? Its confusing and awkward to make the decision to tip or not.
It'd be nice to just commit to something clear. What do y'all do?
Fortunate enough that my partner and I both have secure high paying jobs so I mean you could basically spit in face and beat me senseless and I’d still tip at least 20% if the receipt has a spot for it.
sounds more like 40-50% territory imo
That's a flat $500 in most places
sounds like i've been living in the wrong places :very-smart:
