  • I find the forced tip is better than the emotional extortion at the payment terminal… it ends up being the same price

    And if it’s a forced tip, just take the next logical and include the service in the price of the item… and if service really isnt included in the production of the food, just let me pick it up from the kitchen myself. No need to pay $5 just to walk 20m with a plate.

    Finally, the next logical step, include any taxes in the menu price and make round numbers… $10, $15, $18, etc… final bill $55… this is what they do in most of europe

    I hate looking at bills that have numbers seemingly generated by RNG… $54.97 for a meal, wtf… just make it $55


  • So anyone who is underpaid at work should ask customers to pay extra instead of taking it up with their boss? Should grocery store staff start spitting in people’s food if customers dont hand over 20% more money at the checkout?

    I’m all for supporting workers and i begrudgingly tip in our broken system most of the time… but i cant stand the entitlement of service staff who get pissed about bad tippers… take it up with your boss…

    This is just the rich business owners (who are underpaying their staff) dividing the working class by framing this as the fault of the customer (typically also working class people…)

    So now waitstaff are complaining about bad tippers and fighting other workers rather than focusing on the real problem.



  • “AI IS AMAZING AND INEVITABLE!!!” = astroturfing

    “AI sucks at X, but sometimes useful at Y… use with caution.” = astroturfing

    “AI SUCKS AT LITERALLY EVERY TASK!!! ITS ALL SLOP!!! SLOP SLOP SLOPPITTY SLOP!!!” = only organic discussion and reasonable take…

    Look, there are 100s of valid reasons why AI sucks and is unethical… in fact, it’s pretty much 100% built on unethical methods, no doubt…

    But “AI sucks at everything and literally has zero good use cases” is not a real argument, but it seems to be the most popular opinion around here.

    I disagree with 90% of the pro-AI stuff out there, i’m just pointing out that its rare to hear a reasonable discussin on the topic here that isnt just 100% hate
