  • the point when I can convince myself that the occasional slowness and downtime are reasonable

    Small instances probably aren’t for you. If that was my main concern, I’d stick to major servers with more than just a couple people running it.

    Personally I’m here for the atmosphere. Feels like the old internet. And as someone who has been around for the entirety of the internet; sometimes shit doesn’t work and you have to go do something else for a while.

  • Really the only thing we disagree on is that not tipping does/doesn’t hurt the business. I’m with you on everything else.

    I really don’t have a dog in the fight tho. I don’t work in food service nor do I participate much in the dine-in restaurant portion of it. I can count the number of times I’ve sat down and ate at a restaurant in the last 4 years on one hand. I’m also a hypocrite, I over tip for takeout/delivery and perpetuate the problem.

    But I do believe if people collectively ditched tipping, the problem would sort itself out. Not that it wouldn’t be painful for the workers. And not that there aren’t better options (I’m 110% for minimum wage to be the same across the board).


  • Leave to where? What other job?

    To the same place they would go if everyone collectively boycotted that business like you are calling for. When there’s no customers, the businesses aren’t just going to keep paying them. They’ll end up getting fired or hours cut until they starve or leave. What’s the difference?
