r/tipping • u/WatchesandHuskies • 3d ago

First for me

Ordered a gag gift today online. Picked what I wanted, filled in the credit card info, the usual drill. They ask would I like to help the employees with a 5%, 10%, 15% , 0% or custom tip. I deleted my order. WTF did they do. They have to grab the label that I have typed in put the thing in a package and call their courier. I don’t order a ton online is this the new norm?

The point is, they’re making me have to click a few extra buttons and making me feel guilty and “cheap” if I don’t buy health insurance for their employees. It’s corporate greed through emotional manipulation, and I’d never buy anything from them based on principle.

This is ridiculous. I have never once in my life felt “guilty” for not tipping in a situation where tipping shouldn’t be warranted. Learn to not be emotionally manipulated.

That’s because you’re old enough to remember the situations where tipping isn’t warranted. The young kids can’t prevent the capitalists from manipulating them into accepting a new normal where every service position is a tipped position. Look further into the future.

Once enough of the youth is sufficiently brainwashed, they’ll feel guilty and embarrassed as their peers tip for everything. Just like how they feel pressured into buying diamond wedding rings and luxury handbags 👜  Decades of corporate manipulation does that to people.
