So you have bartenders in big cities scoffing at the idea of eliminating tips while there’s waiters in small diners barely surviving on minimum wage. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 child) Plus then there's the variance of the individual. If you're naturally good with people, you're likely to get tipped better. If you're a pretty young girl, you'll probably make decent money even if you're not good with people, etc. It's such a complicated situation to talk about. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] velma@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 child) Which is why I think tipping should be eliminated. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago Hard agree.
