Had to go to 'custom' and type zero too

16 comments

I've had kiosks prompt me for tips, even making me hit Custom and type 0.00.

I'm so tired of Wall Street Journal, Readers Digest, Square, and Clover pushing the idea that we need to tip everybody everywhere because covid. It's ridiculous. I don't want to live in a country where everybody behind a counter can be paid $2.13 an hour.

- One thought that could change this whole thing:
  
  Paying higher wages.
  
  It's a crazy idea!

  Right? It's not covid. The media and Square are helping employers get away with shit wages.

  the unfortunate truth is higher wages are a half measure. Once you raise wages, what does every tom dick and jane business owner do? raise their prices to match the increased wage. I'm not skilled enough in socioeconomics but the wage increase would need to be followed by a system protection of goods and services at the current value, which is already inflated.

  The sad thing is, enough Americans think being able to tip everybody more easily is a great thing, so this is only going to continue to get worse.

- I don't tgink tipping is responsible for that low a wage. in BC Canada its almost $16 min wage, plus tips

  I'm talking about the US, of course. Most states still allow employers to pay "tipped employees" $2.13 an hour.

- That's only if you live in a state where they're allowed to pay that

  Which is still the majority of them.
