      People who are over worked and underpaid were convinced their employer couldn’t be trusted to pay them a proper wage isn’t the successful argument you think it is

        ? What

        I don’t see how is Europeans stiffing you on a tip is immoral

        You guys are seriously confused if you think you can guilt trip people into believing they are in the wrong. I had a long discussion on this exact topic before and really no arguments were presented to prove otherwise so come on let’s go for round two

        I say: it is wrong to expect people from a completely opposite mindset, culture and background to know that slavery should be supported with their contributions. I think it’s fucked up you guys can only whine about a few missed dollars when there is so much going on that is affecting our lives over here that you idiots had a direct influence on. Let talk oil prices and ram prices, you think I would blaim you personally for that too? I think it’s time to do that even if I know it’s morally wrong. Because, in the words of Louis Rossman: I will hold you to the standards you hold me.

        So tell me again how my argument is not that good. Fuck you.

          If you have that big of a problem, why come to the US and support it with your tourist dollars? You’re able to afford to come here during the hardship you describe, and yet you still complain that you’re expected to make up for the discounted service you received from someone experiencing worse hardship than you. You are scum.

              So you’re bitching about an aspect of another culture that you don’t even interact with and don’t intend to? That’s pathetic, find a better hobby.

          a few missed dollars here can be the difference between rent and homelessness. and i assure you things are getting increasingly brutal for anyone in this country who needs a home, food, medical care.

          a random server at the chain restaurant (patronized by people privileged enough to travel internationally to see sports games!) is NOT responsible for the strait of hormuz or the AI bubble!

          Traveling to a fascist occupied country stiffing low wage workers while telling them to get a better job. You can’t be serious.

      “change your laws” you say to the below minimum wage worker as you don’t pay for the service you received. I don’t remember voting to rely on the generosity of assholes to pay my rent. Server’s in most restaurants barely scrape by, it’s incredibly rare for them to “make bank”. And before you say “work somewhere else” take a look at the current job market and see who’s actually hiring.

        Correct. Not every server is a bartender in a local place that gets a tip-out on top of their tips from reasonable people. Some are servers in a chain restaurants that serve the least grateful, understanding, and intelligent people around. I mean, I had a lady complain that her medium steak had pink in it. It’s not the server’s fault if the customer is a moron.

        Get a proper job? Leave? Demand fair compensation by including gratuity in the sales price instead of allowing modern day slavery? Complacency with a system like that is damning
