What's your point

Stop being deliberately obtuse, you know what the point is. Service work, while gruelling and underpaid, isn't exceptionally so. If service workers should be tipped, so should a lot of retail workers.

In the developed world sure.

Some 3rd world nations probably have bigger issues

People in Germany tip and their "cultural differences " are bigger than the UKs are compared to the US

You can fit the UK and US cultural differences inside of a jar of jam

Plenty of developed countries pay their servers penalty rates, offer paid leave etc.

Pretty rude to assume that they need your charity or that it's something that should be the culture in developed countries.

Typical American.

So why dont the surgeon or the nurse deserve a tip? And you keep ignoring all the people telling you about all the shitty people retail workers have to put up with, especially customer service members, retail work isnt just shelf stacking so STFU acting like it is. The only one being intellectually dishonest is you. And again as you keep ignoring this why not pay wait staff more as well then? Either pay them more as well or tip everyone that deals with people. Take the L and stop trying to get out of your own trap as your lack of knowledge on what retail involves is showing.

He said rudely like a hypocrite

Anyone who doesn't want a tip doesn't have to take it and Germany tips too.

How about instead of screaming how bad foreigners are mr Carlson you actually try to explain why compassion and reward for good service is a bad thing?

You sound so much like a Trumper defending US healthcare. Just chest thump, hypocrisy , insults , emotion and Xenophobia.

Same attitude that got Brexit passed

And again note how the dude who was claiming the UK does tip will ignore this post.

No I haven't. Retail work is hell. I used to do it

I'd rather visit Silent Hill than do it again

Yes they should

Either pay them more as well or tip everyone that deals with people. Take L and stop trying to get out of your own trap as your lack of knowledge on what retail involves is showing.

or pay them both reasonably and give service workers tips

Boom

The surgeon literally saves peoples fucking lives. The fact that youre now shitting on medical staff as well as retail workers is frankly disgusting.

Why, though? Why the exception for service workers? Other profession are just as gruelling. In the US, the reason service workers are tipped isn't compassion, it's because it subsidises their wages. It's a peculiarity in the service industry that only exists in the UK as an American import that doesn't really make sense.

"Give us a proper reason why the world record holding weight lifter is special. Saying its because of his weight lifting isn't a fucking reason "

Erm...

the service is the point. Thats what you're tipping

when there hob is harder and more important Why is it only service people? The surgeon literally saves peoples fucking lives. The fact that youre now shitting on medical staff as well as retail workers is frankly disgusting.

I like how you argue not tipping people is shitting on them while simultaneously demanding no one tips service workers with the passion of Beowulf

And it's not about what's hob is harder (or hotter) its about the service work. Even before getting into salaries.

Surgeons are paid a lot more and need skills to be one, but that aside they're not serving you.

You don't order your liver surgeon to run down the shops and buy you some Carlsberg export

if you did do that and he complied, you should tip him for that service

im not sure how more many times/ways I can explain this



And again as you keep ignoring this why not pay wait staff more as well then?
No they should do that too

Yeah, but this conversation is about tipping in the UK, which exists as an import of a US custom, which exists due to labor laws that are different from those in the UK. It doesn't make sense to tip service workers here because there's no need to subsidise their wages.

If your argument is that we should use tipping to show compassion rather than compensation, then we should use it for all arduous professions.

If your argument is that service workers should be better compensated, then I agree, and I think it should be done via a living wage rather than leaving it to the whims of the customer.

let go of your envy of the US for a while and make a salient point.

You should tip even if waitresses are underpaid. Plenty of service workers in the US (and elsewhere) are paid well and still get tips

You're arguing that conservative greed in America bring evil makes it okay for you not have compassion. The pinnacle of egotistical two wrongs make a right logic


If your argument is that we should use tipping to show compassion rather than compensation, then we should use it for all arduous professions.

No just service work and maybe strippers

Plenty of professions outside the service industry involve taking commands and requests from customers, though. A carpenter has to follow a customer's specifications. A plumber has to fit a toilet where their client wants it. Why shouldn't they be tipped, if tipping is supposed to compensate the following of commands?

Because it's not a service job

Guy installs the toilet, you leave him alone to do it and pay him for that specific work.

You can't walk up to him halfway through and tell him to fix your pipes or go fetch you a drink .

he'll tell you to fuck off

But fetching you a drink is a service worker's job, and they are compensated for their job via wages. Their job isn't any more arduous than many other jobs. Why do you think service workers require compassion for serving people? They're not literally servants, if you ask a server to dance for you or for something that isn't within their job remit, they will refuse and you may be told to leave, so I just don't get why you think it's particularly gruelling.

No. When you are in a foreign country you follow the customs of the place you are in. It's not up to you to decide that your way is better. This is why you're a typical American. It doesn't matter to you what the people from other countries think. It doesn't matter that literally everyone you're sitting with thinks you're an obnoxious asshole.

Could not disagree any more strongly. I don't think I could put into words how strongly I disagree

The idea that FGM , or throwing gay people off buildings or the genocide in China or rewind time the segregation in Anerica is okay because its their culture and you're wrong to oppose it is complete cowardice and harmful.

You should always strive to improve and if things are wrong call it out and try to improve it.

By your logic Ghandi was an arrogant monster for fighting the Caste system. America never should have been independent in the first place. Slavery and homophobia is acceptable.

Hell rewind a couple of years and most of the UK opposed covid vaccinations . It was the work of Europe and America ( myself included) challenging them that changed minds.

Right now it's the deep south having that problem and according to you its wrong to challenge them because its their culture.

Pragmatic good overrides "man culture "

Right and wrong doesn't respect what designated dirt pile you're on

snacking down anti-vaxxer nonsense and being yelled at the whole time

I've had dozens if not hundreds of people tell me I'm the one who convinced them to get a jab or argue back against their anti vax family

and I'm proud of that . In a small way I defeated ignorance and saved lives. I may have been a tiny cog in a gigantic machine but I was a cog

According to Darmik this makes me an arrogant monster

I think near the polar opposite. the arrogant coward is the one who thinks nationality supersedes ethics and their nationality is defacto superior and immune to change or criticism from foreigners even if they are right

America was built on immigrants. Everything we gave to the world came off the back of "foreigners "

Not only that the pilgrims came to America to oppress religious belief, not seeking religious freedom like annoying butts like to lie about. The guys who wrote "All men are created equal " owned slaves and saw women as inferior

I don't think you're following my point. It seems to be near the opposite of what you think it is

There Is nothing wrong with challenging culture and tradition no matter who you are

Moral relativism is bullshit. Slicing up children's gentials doesn't become acceptable based on where you do it. It's always wrong no matter the "culture " and everyone should challenge it. Its arrogant not to challenge it
