Perhaps you’ve noticed. We have reached a tipping point in the country over tipping.
To tip or not to tip has led to Shakespearean soliloquies by customers explaining why they refuse to tip for certain things.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, customers were grateful for those who seemingly risked their safety so we could get groceries, order dinner or anything that made our lives feel normal. A nice tip was the least we could do to show gratitude.
But now that we are out about and back to normal, the custom of tipping for just about everything has somehow remained; and customers are upset.
A new study from Pew Research shows most American adults say tipping is expected in more places than it was five years ago, and there’s no real consensus about how tipping should work.
You're being a bit pedantic by correcting people on it. We get it's a "real job", we're saying that it's BULLSHIT that it's a real job. It's a bullshit job. She's the expert of made up rules that she creates by enforcing and enforces by creating. She makes money, cool, it's a "job" in that sense, but it's a bullshit job.
If someone paid me to shit on the sidewalk every day, would you correct people who said "That's a bullshit job"? "Um it's a real job"
Our entire society functions via made up rules that don't make sense and contradict themselves. Ask literally anyone you know on the Spectrum. As long as society exists roles like this will exist.
