    Your country is fucking over the whole world thanks to the pedohitler you chose as president, and I should give a fuck about it?

    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.

      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.

          Self inflicted pain. I would care, but my country and many others are getting screwed thanks to your pedopresident, so excuse me if prioritize.

          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.

          I don’t know how should I explain it so you understand that I live in a country where tipping is not needed because waiters don’t need to depend on tips to eat every day. And, once again, it’s not my fault that the owner is a piece of shit that doesn’t pay their employees. I shouldn’t be the one subsidizing that. Tipping lets the owner keep doing their thing. Stop tipping and after 3 days top you’ll have a revolt among waiters that will solve the problem. But of course, that would mean inconveniencing them, and we can’t have that. Better to keep doing the owner’s job (paying the employees) and organize a “massive” protest on a holiday with angry texts in a board.

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

          I’ve been in many places, but not as a tourist, I prefer going to other places and learn their ways so I can explore them as closest as possible as a local. However, there’s one thing I’m not gonna ever do: selling my principles. And to visit the us, I should have to sell them really cheap so… yeah, there is an extremely low risk of me going there.

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

          Yet, you side with the oppressor to keep alive the tipping culture.

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

          I don’t hate us workers, I just don’t care about the us as a country because it’s clear it’s creating more problems than it’s solving not only to themselves but to everyone. And that won’t be solved after pedohitler croaks, because he made it clear that your democracy doesn’t work at all and that there is a clear possibility of another trump happening again.

            If you eat at a restaurant that underpays its workers, you are perpetuating the problem.

            Eating there and not tipping is worse for the workers than eating there and tipping, which is worse than finding somewhere else to eat.

            The piece of shit owner gets your money if you tip or if you don’t tip. They get none if you eat elsewhere.

            Show me how little you care by replying.

              Mate, I don’t know how to make you understand that I don’t live in the only “developed” country that makes their waiters and other service workers earn their wages from the tips. And that I don’t have any intention to visit it.

              Also, keep tipping, the owner class must be really happy that you cover their labor expenses.

                I understand you’re from another country. It’s why you blame every worker (and only the workers) in the US for trump.

                I know there is absolutely nothing that will make you understand that being a cheap piece of shit who doesn’t tip isn’t the moral choice. It’s just being a cheap piece of shit. If you want to make the moral choice (there’s no chance of that, ever.) you stay away from the places that underpay their employers.

                And that I don’t have any intention to visit it.

                That makes me so happy.

                Also, keep tipping, the owner class must be really happy that you cover their labor expenses.

                They don’t care if the expense of labor is covered. They’re supposed to make up for any deficit caused by shitty people who don’t tip, but wage theft is the most common crime in the US for a reason. I’m sure you believe that’s the evil workers’ fault too.

                  What? No, I blame the usians. I mean, I can’t blame French people for trump? Only the us voted in that election.

                  I know there is absolutely nothing that will make you understand that being a cheap piece of shit who doesn’t tip isn’t the moral choice. It’s just being a cheap piece of shit. If you want to make the moral choice (there’s no chance of that, ever.) you stay away from the places that underpay their employers.

                  Indeed, I’m making the moral choice by not going to the us, the place where workers have more in common with slaves than in any other developed country. On the other hand, you sound like a restaurant owner that’s salty because there’s someone not tipping.

                  They don’t care if the expense of labor is covered. They’re supposed to make up for any deficit caused by shitty people who don’t tip, but wage theft is the most common crime in the US for a reason. I’m sure you believe that’s the evil workers’ fault too.

                  So by not tipping I’m making the owner actually pay their employees? And you say that it won’t happen because the owner is a piece of shit? Wow that’s… totally not a problem for me. Do you expect to conquer any rights just by writing angry words on a banner? Do you really think the poor capitalist class will just give you anything you ask if you do it politely? Stop tipping. It will be hard at fist, but if that’s what get the people to actually do something, it will be worth it.

                  But who am I fooling? You’ll just keep whinning about how unfair is this to you doing absolutely nothing to change the system.

                    Oh! I see! You’re operating under the assumption that tips are paid to the owner! They’re paid to the workers, often directly. It’s usually advisable to tip in cash because tipping via card makes it easier for employers to steal from their employees.

                    So by not tipping I’m making the owner actually pay their employees?

                    Up to the non-tipped minimum wage. A good shift with tips brings in more than that.

                    And you say that it won’t happen because the owner is a piece of shit? Wow that’s… totally not a problem for me.

                    Of course it isn’t. It’s wage theft and you obviously celebrate it.

                    Do you really think the poor capitalist class will just give you anything you ask if you do it politely? Stop tipping.

                    The capitalist class won’t care if you don’t tip. They make the same either way. You’re determined not to understand this. The way to hurt the owners is to boycott the restaurant entirely. It’s a dick move to eat there, have a waiter serve you, and then not leave a tip. The only person you’re harming in that case is the worker. Which seems to be a preferable situation for you.
