Tip your fucking server.
this makes me wonder if people tip sex workers
if they’re independent, no. the rate is the rate.
If they’re an employee I’d treat like how I book my massages which is paying up front with a tip.
You don’t?
have never been on either side of that situation, I just have no idea
In defense of not tipping
I remember October by China Mievelle mentioning that Russian workers revolted against tipping as they saw it as undignified or something.
Maybe Trotsky really was trying to export the revolution. Maybe he was just stingy. Difficult to say.
Most actual service workers did not think tipping was a good thing, American tipping culture evolved directly out of racism. It is genuinely a totally unjustifiable and predatory thing. Note that I am not saying you shouldn’t tip hospitality workers, because these people are basically taken hostage by the sytem, but the system should be fucking illegal.
I think there’s broad agreement on that here. Could one call not tipping a form of prefigurative politics in this context?
Counterpoint
Twain didn’t tip?
He saved all his spare money to fund his research into bringing Joan of Arc back to life
This isn’t true, but it could have been
as far as i can tell a letter to the editor in a chicago paper lauded him for not tipping, i could not find any direct grains of writing from him regarding it. always knew Twain would’ve been quite fond of the bolsheviks, i just didn’t think it would’ve been Trotsky
I’m just gonna cope . . . I appreciate your efforts.
dig him up let’s do it again
I’ve never met someone who refuses to tip who doesn’t deserve at least a kick to the stomach
do do
heheh
