    And, again, it’s not on me. If the owner is not paying them a living wage in the US, I don’t see how is it the customer’s fault and responsibility to cover for what the owner is not paying.

    It’s the customer’s responsibility to avoid places that exploit their workers.

      I’m not paying what the employer should be paying. And, once again, it’s not my problem. I don’t live in that shithole and I won’t be visiting it in the near future (honestly, I doubt I’d ever visit it).

        I know. But they’re not.

        And, once again, it’s not my problem.

        It’s a problem for the workers you don’t care about, yes.

          Mate, are you trying to guilt trip me into solving a problem from a country that’s a bloody ocean away from me just because its shitty system is greedy as fuck and the citizens are too complacent to do what they should be doing (aka a fucking revolution)?

          Solve your own problems instead of blaming others hoping for them to do it.

            I try. Keep blaming capitalism’s victims for its excesses. You’re acting like all the fat entitled American tourists you whine about. Especially the ones with MAGA hats. Your attitude toward working people is 100% identical to the worst one of them.

            I’m not blaming you for American tipping culture. I’m saying you hate the working poor.

              Tell me again how should I solve an issue in the us while living in Europe. Your country is fucking over the whole world thanks to the pedohitler you chose as president, and I should give a fuck about it? LOL, LMAO even.

              Stop working in shitty restaurants and you’ll see how fast they start paying a living wage. Instead, you perpetuate a system by shifting the blame towards the customer. You are part of the problem and, honestly? It’s actually fine; the sooner the us fuck themselves into irrelevance, the sooner the rest of the world will start improving.

              The fucking audacity…

                I didn’t choose him. I guess I deserve it for being outnumbered, though.

                Stop working in shitty restaurants and you’ll see how fast they start paying a living wage.

                I don’t work in restaurants. Unlike you, I have sympathy for those who do.

                Instead, you perpetuate a system by shifting the blame towards the customer.

                People work where they can find work. You blame the workers but not the entitled people who whine about everything to people who are just trying to make a living in an exploitative system. Workers are trying to live. You hate them because they don’t quit and go on the nonexistent dole.

                  Now imagine the rest of the world that couldn’t even vote and are suffering the consequences of something they didn’t have even the chance to vote.

                  I don’t work in restaurants. Unlike you, I have sympathy for those who do.

                  By tipping, you are screwing them furtherly by allowing the owners to enrich without paying wages. Tipping won’t solve the issue, will perpetuate it.

                  The what? So I should move to the us from my country to tip some waiter and save lives? Are you mad at me because I don’t live in your shithole of a country?

                  I swear usians are expert in trying to guilt-trip others into solving their own problems. I couldn’t care less about you all, because this and all of the issues you are having are your own doing and, the funniest part is that you not only grew complacent with your own situation, you are trying to make others solve your own problems.

                    Do you suppose things are great here?

                    By tipping, you are screwing them furtherly by allowing the owners to enrich without paying wages. Tipping won’t solve the issue, will perpetuate it.

                    Eating at restaurants that pay the tipped minimum wage of 2.13 an hour at all perpetuates the issue, regardless of whether you tip. Don’t try to put an ethical face on being a cheapass.

                    The what? So I should move to the us from my country to tip some waiter and save lives?

                    Please stay right where you’re at. Don’t be a tourist, you’ll give tourists a bad name.

                    I swear usians are expert in trying to guilt-trip others into solving their own problems.

                    I don’t want you to solve my problems. I want you to stop blaming poor workers for the problems created by their oppressors.

                    I couldn’t care less about you all

                    You’ve made that evident by hating US workers. And only the workers.
