The video is mostly about how more and more places try to get you to tip in advance before the service is even provided, have suggested tip amounts that start at 15%, and even pop up for things like when you're ordering take out, ordering coffee to go, etc.

I try to avoid places that have those touchscreens with tip suggestions, but that's becoming more and more impossible to completely avoid. So what I usually do at those places is pay in cash, get my order to go, and don't leave a tip. Or if I'm feeling generous, I'll leave the coins from my change in the tip jar.

Also, a local diner near me doesn't do take out orders. I went there to dine in once, and the food was decent. I tried to order take out from there a few weeks later, and they told me they don't do take out orders. That's fair. I just take my business somewhere else that does.

Oh, and they talk about how this makes tipping change from an act of omission to an act of commission since you have to select the "no tip" option or the "custom" option and enter zero for the tip.

Tipping is an unethical system regardless. If you support tipping instead of supporting a higher base pay, you are part of the problem. If you support both, you are part of the problem

I'm going to tip because I would want tips if I was in those jobs. I would not want to be broke and fired because people think refusing to tip will force businesses to change their methods.

Breaking a few eggs to make an omelette isn't a valid way to incite change when real lives are the eggs.

I've definitely noticed it at places over the last two years or so.

So, basically since covid happened.

Either when ordering food online (that I'm picking up from a place) or when I make a payment with a card at a place, a tip will be suggested. Especially with online, I feel kinda pressured to do it. Since I'm not there physically in the restaurant and have no idea if my food's gonna be prepared in a shittier way because of the no tip.

I just stopped eating out mostly because the entire food service industry and damn near everyone I come across working in it is just fucking insufferable the past few years.

Come to think of it I've stopped using pretty much every service that requires tipping.

Prices and tip demands go up, quality goes down in all categories. Not worth it.

I hate all of these places that have the touchscreens that pop up with suggested tips. Like the rare occasion I go to Rita's I see they have these now. The water ice is already overpriced as it is and you're gonna try to guilt me into a tip? No thanks.

He talks about that. I forgot exactly what he said except that he said something about how you don't have to pay to watch streamers, and it'd be dumb if you did since no one would watch streamers if they were behind a paywall.

He also talks a lot about how people who take these service jobs accepted the agreed upon wage, and it's not our fault if it's not enough for them to earn a living.

He also supports universal basic income.

You don't have to tip in most irl situations too. Only one I can think of where it sort of mandatory are strip clubs cuz you gotta tip to get the dancer's attention. Anyways I only tip like 30% of the time. To me it depends on how attractive someone is and also if they are nice to me

Sure, but there is far less societal pressure to tip a streamer since people are mostly anonymous on the internet versus a face-to-face interaction where some cashier is staring at me to see if I enter a tip on a touchscreen lol.

ill be honest idk what you are talking about. do you get like an adrenaline rush when the cashier stares at you? is it dependent on their attractiveness levels too?

guilting a customer into tipping puts you on the wrong side of the argument, even if you are the waiter

fulltime jobs should be a respectable wage and every part time job should be a livable wage

anything less is a distraction and why you have people talking about literally everything else

Maybe the wages would be respectable if government actually lowered the cost of living instead of printing infinite money and causing inflation and instead of constantly raising taxes, imposing more and higher fees on everything.

That's a bunch of different things lol

CoL is high because people want to make money off everything. I do agree if people didn't have to spend money on costs like that the wage would be less relevant.

Not tipping isn't going to force companies to pay their workers. Not tipping means I just got a meal while the staff that prepared it for me got paid way less than a livable wage.

The only way tipping culture is going to change is if there is a mass strike. The consumer taking the moral high ground and refusing to tip only benefits the consumer.

I wonder, do people realize the only workers that need a tip are the waitstaff? The cooks, cashier's whatever are supposed to be paid a full wage. Now if the owner isn't doing that, well they should be breaking the law. If I see a required tip for pickup, I am walking away.

Just fucking hit "No tip", why is that so damn hard? What's the difference between a touch screen and a tip jar that these places have had forever? If it's a restaurant with wait service, tip 10 to 15% if you want. No one has a gun to your head. It's not your job to "support" everyone you come across.

Yeah it sucks but you can avoid the touch screen if you pay with cash. Up to you what you leave, I'm of the opinion that places ought to give better wages than to coerce people with these shitty tactics.
