Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip? - lib.lgbt
lib.lgbt
Hey Folks! I’ve been living abroad for over half my life in a country where tipping is not the norm. At most you would round up. 19€ bill? Here’s a 20, keep this change. Going to the US soon to visit family and the whole idea of tipping makes me nervous. It seems there’s a lot of discussion about getting rid of tipping, but I don’t know how much has changed in this regard. The system seems ridiculously unfair, and that extra expense in a country where everything is already so expensive really makes a difference. So will AITA if I don’t tip? Is it really my personal responsibility to make sure my server is paid enough?

Hello,

Please forgive the instance name, i joined to find a place that wouldn't allow "debate me" anti-lgbt comments

Now that is out of the way here is my tl|dr

  • Someone posts asking if they should tip
  • I explain that if they don't people will treat them badly from a cultural point of view.
  • Commenters prove my rudeness claim correct by saying ad hominem to me and name calling me.
  • People act like i am the awful capitalist owner class because i gently said not to support bad behavior from other people when i already paid for service and the taxes.

My beliefs:

  • in a capitalist society, workers should be paid by the business owner a livable wage.
  • I want the elimination of an unequal monetary system that oppresses everybody but the ruling class and want qn egalitarian society.

I repeat my post title.

Thanks for reading. i hope you understand
