        You literally always pay the wages of the people that work for companies.

            As is this. I have no idea why people here are convinced tipping is somehow bad for employees and good for employers

            It’s literally the same thing you just are more aware of it.

              It’s not the same thing. Tipping is a psychological game that pits customers and servers against each other. It’s “how little can I tip before they tamper with my food” versus “how indebted can I make them feel before they reject it and leave without tipping”

                It’s “how little can I tip before they tamper with my food”

                Normal people never, ever think this.

                  I didn’t realize you’re the spokesperson for all normies, what an honor. Really though, it is a common sentiment, especially with pre-tipping. When they flip around that iPad and glare at you, there is definitely a sense that the probability of them spitting in your food is not 0% if you hit the no tip button.

                  Baristas post on their social media about giving non-tippers decaf all the time. If that’s what they are willing to share publicly to the entire world, imagine what people are willing to do secretly.
