Jesus, there's a lot of negativity in here.

Seriously guys, riding is a lot more fun when you aren't endangering anyone or smeared across the asphalt.

Seems you’re the stupid one. Don’t go to places that don’t give people good wages. You get what you tolerate. Tough concept.

Pretty horrid outlook you got there.

LPT: Don't take advice on how to be a decent human being from a troll

I really love Oxiclean Maxforce for all stains, old and new. If it's and old stain let it set for a week before washing like normal.

Don't react, respond.

Sure… leave the server questioning whether they messed up or you’re just an a-hole. Servers live on tips. Starving innocent people won’t fix this system

It was a big help during the pandemic lockdown for all the staff that suddenly didn't have indoor dining as an option for income. Now that dining restrictions are gone, I see it as incredibly unnecessary.

My father was born with 20% hearing in one ear and 80% in the other. Now he’s completely deaf in on ear and has hardly any hearing in the other. He comes from the time when hearing aids were big and refuses to get them now. So he lip reads. My husband talks very quietly and doesn’t enunciate his words so when he met my dad I had to explain that he had to look at my dad directly, make sure he was looking at you and then talk to him. It’s definitely an adjustment.

The profit margin for a restaurant is typically pretty small. Any increase in pay they could give their employees is going to drastically impact the menu prices as the cost gets passed to the consumers. There's a reason so many restaurants go out of business within the first 5 years of opening. I'm certainly not arguing the system is the best, but the service industry is incredibly tough, and not tipping is just bad etiquette in countries where it is expected.

OP isn’t even in the United States, and had no idea what they are talking about.

Focus on your mental health and not other countries service industry standards smh

Wow, you fixed the system! /s

You are really shortsighted and disconnected from reality if you think this is how it works.

This is a horrible tip

SLPT have ptsd, social anxiety and be hypersensitive so you check for everything all the time. Even if it isn't there.

Really though I always look for bikes. My son just bought one, but it's winter.

There are repercussions for being a dick though.

Nice.

Guarantee OP has never worked in food and beverage or customer service, this is just a naive and ill informed post.

It needs to change, and I'll tip to help my fellow people out. I'll help put carts away, I'll shovel snow, I'll give people food. I'll tip but I'll also call owners out for not paying enough.

Is this a joke? There’s no logic in putting more economic pressure on powerless people in an effort to influence a system that oppresses them. Not tipping underpaid laborers does absolutely nothing to change policy. As others have said, instead, patronize establishments that are working to change the system, get involved politically, choose activism.
