  it used to be less; I think it was like 90 bucks to go from Georgia to Arizona at one point

  It’s crazy how your English got worse to the point of making no discernible counter-argument once you’re backed into a corner

  I mean, is this 16-year-old working full time in this half-assed scenario of yours? Get serious.

  we literally had a bunch of underpaid minimum wage employees being pressured to work and take the risk on getting infected through the pandemic because they were essential to the fucking economy and logistics of our daily lives, yet we don’t want to recognize that as essential anymore because someone else has brainwashed you into it for no reason you’ve been able to elaborate. The 16-year-old needs to be compensated at the same rate as someone who does it for a living, proportional to the hours they work. It’s kinda wild how you’re angling to argue for underpaid child labor. This guy’s gotta be one dusty mf to think like that.

  Yes, but spending the money creates more of an incentive and more pressure to figure out how to skimp on payouts

  Yeah, like I’ve always tipped the “standard” (15% here) as the minimum in the worst cases, my standard is 20-25% or more depending on the bill and time of service, et cetera; and they still had their panties in a wad over the idea that their brilliant shortcuts weren’t that brilliant and that someone might still see through them or at least appropriately judge their service over them, intentional or not.

  Given how dumbed-down, animalistic, and impulsivesexual interactions can be, it makes a lot more sense in that state of mind.

  I one got shat on for saying I reduce my typical tip of 25%+ down to 15% for waiters who were particularly bad at interactions, in a thread where a bunch of waiters were patting themselves on the back for forcing bad-but-fast interactions that allowed them to give the appearance of service.

  Such as avoiding eye contact, ignoring gestures from a distance, and leaving a table fast to give them as little time as possible to put in follow-up requests, or waiting until someone’s mouth was full or with a glass up so they couldn’t elaborate, and some other stuff I don’t care to remember.

  I was called “shitty” for “witholding tips”.

  “let’s continue to devalue labor because some margin cases might 😱 end up with disposable income derived from a more fair compensation for that value”
