Your correct indexing is highly appreciated!

Wow, that’s so deep, you are so profound!

Except it’s complete bullshit, isn’t it? Believing something is entirely different from accusing someone of something but a great philosopher like you is surely aware of that, right?

You made up a stupid principle on the spot after being called out for talking bullshit because you couldn’t find a suitable counter argument. It’s neither personal nor the internet, it’s your weak attempt of worming out of something dumb you said. Don’t worry, I was 15 once, I remember what it feels like. Your brain just isn’t there yet.

Now kindly go troll elsewhere.

Good on you. Is accusing people you “never believe” of lying part of that habit?

Yes, your incredulity certainly makes your argument much stronger. But postulating obvious platitudes is what really drives your point home.

It doesn’t matter who I hurt by not tipping. It matters that I help shitty employers keep up a shitty system if I do. Employees are being hurt whether I tip or not. But my money will not go into some exploitative asshole’s pocket, regardless of your appeals to emotion.

You’re telling me, the customer, that I should help the employees unionize? Are you all up to date with the respective responsibilities of parties here? I believe it’s the employees who should drive unionization, not customers who are entirely unable to do anything about it.

Also, was the suggestion that tips go into emergency funds meant seriously? Do you know how unions and emergency funds operate?

Most businesses don’t advocate that they’re exploiting their employees, so your suggestion to just “not go to stores that rely on it” falls a bit flat.

Okay, thanks for the advice but I already don’t frequent businesses that exploit their employees and you have no reason to assume I do.

You made the assumption I do just so you could get a snarky remark in, not to make a meaningful counterpoint.

And subsidising shit wages just helps employers keep up a shitty system that only they benefit from. Sorry if this sucks but maybe some workers should get behind this idea as well instead of always playing victim.

Gentle request to pay employees properly instead of shifting that burden to the customer and laughing on top of the pile of money you saved.

Denying someone their tip because the service was bad is the exact purpose of a tip. Making it anything else is exclusively helping shitty employers and literally no-one else.

No no, don’t you know that it is your responsibility as a customer to make sure other people’s employees make enough money to live? What are you, some kind of europoor?
