That is fighting with the employer. Tipping is what the employers want. That's why my idea of "disobeying" was that this is when the movement to end US tipping culture makes sense. Europe has restaurants and they don't have a tipping culture.
I don't get why if I don't tip that I'm the one starving the employee, and not the employer.
If wait staff stop getting tips, eventually they will strike or quit and the restaurants will have to change their model. My solidarity exists that if they strike then I won't shop there until they agree to a compromise. I don't see how the existence of the US's unique tipping culture is our responsibility.
They aren't a political pawn. This is what we want. This is what we voted for. It's not my responsibility to pay their wages. If they don't like their compensation, they can strike or look elsewhere for employment. Clearly trying to push for better compensation through law isn't going to work.
Well, just picking Kamala was probably a better choice than having a contested open primary for 3 weeks leading up to the convention. People couldn't even vote on that primary, it would just be a vibe check the superdelegates decided on.
I'm still feeling bitter and a fast food place last night asked me to tip, so it got me thinking that maybe this is the time to push out tipping culture. If the country wants the party of "fuck you, I got mine", then fight your own battles for your wage.
Legally, if they don't make minimum wage through tips then the employer has to make up the difference (in practice this likely doesn't happen). Maybe it will make them care more about the minimum wage if it affects them.
I don't think their vote even decided the race since Kamala lost PA and GA too. We shouldn't blame them either, blame the DNC for running Biden a second term until the final hour.
The DOJ, through the FBI informants who communicated with Philippi for months, outlined the rough details of Philippi's alleged plan, which it said was motivated by racial hatred. According to the DOJ, Philippi was connected with several white-supremacist groups
The FBI seemed to think he was connected with white supremacists, so I would imagine he's pro Trump. Seems a bit of a stretch for a white supremacist to vote for a non white candidate.
Alaska, a red state, is reportedly trying to remove their rank choice voting. This isn't a "Dems" problem, it's a two party problem.
Even if state and local elections are ranked choice, the presidential election will still be a first past the post election and the electoral college is still designed for a two party system.
so that people know where Politico stands in terms of being a trustworthy source
I just assume all media actually want a Trump victory, because they get money writing articles and the money was good his first term. If Trump is good at anything, it's making headlines.
Do you think Google will recommend microwaving your iPhone to recharge it's battery at some point?
Isnt that how all social media sites start out. Starts with nerd culture and eventually other people come in later?
"If you don't tip don't go out"? Telling people who want to see the tipping culture removed to not go out means that either way, the waiter doesn't get tipped. Europe has restaurants, so clearly tipping or not tipping doesn't dictate the existence of restaurants.
If a waiter works an entire shift and receives no tip, they are entitled to actual minimum wage instead of the reduced minimum wage. So there shouldn't be any moral misgiving to not tipping, it's just social pressure.
