Do you suppose things are great here?
Self inflicted pain. I would care, but my country and many others are getting screwed thanks to your pedopresident, so excuse me if prioritize.
Eating at restaurants that pay the tipped minimum wage of 2.13 an hour at all perpetuates the issue, regardless of whether you tip. Don't try to put an ethical face on being a cheapass.
I don't know how should I explain it so you understand that I live in a country where tipping is not needed because waiters don't need to depend on tips to eat every day. And, once again, it's not my fault that the owner is a piece of shit that doesn't pay their employees. I shouldn't be the one subsidizing that. Tipping lets the owner keep doing their thing. Stop tipping and after 3 days top you'll have a revolt among waiters that will solve the problem. But of course, that would mean inconveniencing them, and we can't have that. Better to keep doing the owner's job (paying the employees) and organize a "massive" protest on a holiday with angry texts in a board.
Please stay right where you're at. Don't be a tourist, you'll give tourists a bad name.
I've been in many places, but not as a tourist, I prefer going to other places and learn their ways so I can explore them as closest as possible as a local. However, there's one thing I'm not gonna ever do: selling my principles. And to visit the us, I should have to sell them really cheap so... yeah, there is an extremely low risk of me going there.
I don't want you to solve my problems. I want you to stop blaming poor workers for the problems created by their oppressors.
Yet, you side with the oppressor to keep alive the tipping culture.
You've made that evident by hating US workers. And only the workers.
I don't hate us workers, I just don't care about the us as a country because it's clear it's creating more problems than it's solving not only to themselves but to everyone. And that won't be solved after pedohitler croaks, because he made it clear that your democracy doesn't work at all and that there is a clear possibility of another trump happening again.
