Look I agree it’s a dick move from a certain perspective. But real question here, how will tipping culture change without owners not being able to hire servers because they know they won’t get tipped anymore, and the owners won’t pay them, so they look for a job elsewhere?

I tip. But I’d like to discuss this never ending cycle. if we keep tipping, and then owners won’t do shit about increasing wages because we’re paying it.

Nurse here, graduated May 2020. Remember. The. Interventions.

I always felt like I focused on learning the background of everything like risk factors and the Patho, but the tests are almost 80% interventions based and it will feel like they spend only 2 seconds on it in class.

Nice technique tho - mine was white board spam and trying to get all the info onto one paper for a subject.

My dad is the king of boomer faux pas. T shirt tucked into above-the-knee jean shorts. White New Balance sneakers with tube socks. Aqua Socks anytime a body of water is within 1000 feet. The Fanny pack is now a cell phone clipped onto his belt. Shouting into speaker phone all the time, anywhere. And the puns… oh the puns…

Very kind and polite man. Loving, supportive, sober, even-tempered father figure. Refuses to take any advice about how to not be a cringe lord. The more he refuses my pleading desperate attempts to help him, the more furious I get.

It has been this way since I was 12. I’m pretty much 40 now.

But there isn’t even a standard within this adopted culture. One could say they always tip 20% no matter what but sometimes you might want to hook up your server with 35% because they absolutely killed it.

I also get where OP is coming from.

It’s true. There is no law that requires you to tip unless it’s part of the bill. In fact, nobody even tells you how much to tip let alone that you HAVE to tip before you leave. It’s a weird unspoken experience of having someone feel like they need to perform for you in some way in order to get more money from you.

It’s awful that there customers that will hold that tip over a servers head like they are their slave or jester while they visit the restaurant.

Studies show that the higher an hourly wage a server is paid, the less poor treatment they are willing to put up with.

So not only do we not pay these people that are literally serving us but they are more abused the less they get paid.

Tell me how that’s fair.
