The system is what it is. I’m not going to fix it by not paying tips. The fix for this is political.

I removed it because I didn’t think it qualified as subtle, but I rather like it.

They have but two brain cells struggling for third place.

I disagree with tipping on tax, but agree with tipping on discounts. I baseline 20% and adjust up or down based on quality of service, while paying attention to how overworked the staff is.

I once sat at a hibachi table with strangers who were super demanding and then complained about the service and refused to tip so I added their tip to my bill (without saying anything because I didn’t want to start an argument with them).

Waitstaff get fucked coming and going. If they do their share of the work, it’s not their fault if the kitchen fucked up. I generally just add the cost of the comped item to the tip rather than 20%.

I have yet to see anyone complain about being blocked, reviewed the evidence, and agreed with the complainer. I’m sure it happens, but the pattern seems strong.

I mean, I don’t go hang out at .ml because I’d probably get blocked there so I don’t go. They don’t want me and I don’t want them. I don’t see a problem there.

That implies you also don’t know about The Addams Family? https://youtu.be/cfawtDT945o?is=G4CdAVE4ASn4hf3_

Same. Surely, some future historian or philosopher will read our shitposts and usher in a new age of humanity.
