MODERATORS
Wanting them to work somewhere with they are paid fairly does not equate to that you have no problem with them starving.
It does when you don't tip them.
No, it doesn't.
You can wish the best for them, and want them to have a happy and healthy life, and not tip them when they don't do anything deserving of a tip.
Deserve ain't the metric when they're being paid below a living wage.
You're arguing they should provide five star service and suck your dick to "deserve" not needing to choose between heating and electricity that month.
The two are not connected though either.
No, I'm not. Please don't put words in my mouth, especially emotionally hyperbolic ones.
Nah, when you're saying you don't have to tip in these times that's exactly what you're saying fuckin' moocher.
That's not what I'm saying. Stop being emotionally hyperbolic and putting words in my mouth, its intellectually dishonest of you to do so, and loses any credibility for the point you are arguing for.
For the record, tip someone if they have earned it, or if you feel sorry for them as a form of charity, but not because you are obligated to do so. Let the company they work for pay them a living wage, its not the customers responsiblity to do so.
So mature. Carry on, Internet Warrior.
Cool cool cool - so we have the solution. After everyone who got bamboozled to work a job without compensation starved the tip crisis is over. Problem solved; just wait it out.
