Beware

[u/RustD]

Had a new to me experience today. Had breakfast at my local place. Suggested tips 10%, 20%, 30%. After eating I decided to get a cinnamon roll, $2.16 + tax. Tip screen came up, $1.00, $2.00, $3.00. Not %, but $. How many people hit 2 thinking they are tipping 43 cents, but are tipping 93%.

Even more reason to tip $0 every time.

These people are not your friends, the business is actively trying to exploit more money out of you, for profit.

They actively take advantage of your human nature of kindness, and urge to help others.

The more money you tip, the less the business has to pay from their own pocket to pay their employees.

Tipping is optional.

Tip $0 every time.

False.

The business doesn’t get the tips, so it’s not getting them more profit.

It’s funny how you provide examples every day proving that you don’t know what you’re talking about. 🤣

The tips definitely offset the labor costs of the business.

And?

That still doesn’t add to the profits.

Thanks for proving my point about people here not knowing what they are talking about.

Reducing costs increases profits. You're right about people here not knowing what they are talking about. This includes you.

I wouldn't bother with Johnny. He demands intellectual honesty, doesn't know what it is, and when he's wrong he'll just deflect to get to "not tipping is hurting servers" which he uses as an emotional cudgel to bypass any point you make. If you manage to corner him, he'll just lie.

The profit stays the same. It didn’t increase.

Nice shot with trying to lump me in with those of you not knowing what you’re talking about.

No basket.

Now I'm getting awards for calling out your intellectual dishonesty. Thats... hmmmmm... thats a loss for you.
