Not tipping isn't rude.
That depends entirely upon the context. There are many situations where not tipping is rude. There are also situations where tipping is rude. "Rude" is a quality related to social expectations. You can be unintentionally rude due to ignorance of the norms, and that doesn't necessarily make you a bad person. But if you knowingly refuse to tip when tipping is expected for a provided service, then you're a shitbag.
Not those refusing to pay them properly?
If you knowingly buy chinese goods produced with slave labor you're a shitbag and they're a shitbag. There can be more than one shitbag in the chain.
how far do you want to take it, though? who made your socks?
https://carolinahosiery.com/ And I can not recommend them enough. Seriously the best work socks I've found.
I want to take it as far as it needs to go.
don't know why i'm getting downvoted, i was just trying to make a point. and you countered beautifully.
Mine was too at first. Lemmings be lemmings. It kind of acts like when reddit started doing "vote fuzzing". I don't pay them any mind.
nah, i know for sure i've pissed some people off with all my shitposting and now they just downvote all my comments lol
Yes, the people refusing to pay them properly are the shitbags. The employer is a shitbag, and the customer who refuses to tip is a shitbag.
If someone is not even attempting to getting the law that allows their core income to come from tips changed that makes one complicit and therefore obligated to tip.
If you are fine with server's primary income coming from tips then you are obligated to tip.
if you're utilizing a service that pays subminimum wage conditional on tips making up the difference, then yes, it's not rude. it's straight up evil.
if you have a moral objection to tipping, then dont use services that pay workers subminimum wage
But the evil is in the hyper capitalist mindset of your insane government
you're right, im wrong. next time i see someone busking im gonna take his tip cup and tell him what you just said. if he asks "why are you denying me my money that i worked for" ill just tell him "im not evil its just the system that makes you homeless"
If it makes you feel better you can say that but it's not going to change the actual world around you. I don't tip. It's because my government is not hyper capitalist. I would move away from a hyper capitalist society, or demand policy with my entire work. I would not participate.
well dude you're not in a position to be using the services that require tipping. why not lead with that? I don't flick the queen's bean either but not because i turn down the opportunity.
if you're in the system, it's a different story. have a good day outsider. "i would just move" lmao
