I didn't expect one of the things to carry over from reddit is the rabid anti tipping culture and abunch of people making up shit to justify their preferences.

I now have a job that gets tips, if someone doesn't tip IDC, the overall tips are good and I don't know the story of the person not tipping. When I give a funny look is when someone hits the no tip button and looks up at me like they're waiting for some kind of response.

I don't have time to care about your financial state, you all are just making up shit in your heads to justify shit to yourselves

Tipping isn't prevalent here so your comment seems strange to me. I'd never tip unless service was above and beyond. The reason why is that I feel companies use tips to depress wages, and tipping culture puts pressure on customers and not the company.

I don't see why you're angry at people who choose not to give you money in a system that allows them to choose, when the system is clearly the issue.

This seems like a weird take. Put another way, you're withholding what you know to be fair compensation for services rendered as a form of protest against the company, but at the workers' expense? Just trying to make sense of your perspective.

The fair compensation for the service is the actual price of the service I have to legally pay. How the worker gets compensated for their work is not my concern. The service worker is employed by the restaurant for example, not by me just wanting to eat a pizza.

Tipping is an optional reward for outstanding service, and american companies realised their employees could survive (probably) on tips so they don't have to fairly compensate their employees. If you have to ask for optional donations from people just to survive you are just a beggar, the fair compensation for your work needs to come from your employer.
