That's it. That's the post.
I (as a disabled person myself) understand some ppl rely on tipped services and cannot afford a tip/large tip and I'm literally not talking to them.
I also understand that in some countries/situations tipped employees are paid a fair wage. I'm not talking to you, a consumer in that situation, either. (But TBH never understood the argument “tipping works like THIS in my country so I will shut down all discourse from servers in another country where it works completely differently”. I also never understood how people are so confident that all servers in their region are being paid so well). But like whatever. This post ultimately isn't for you, although you are annoyingly and harmfully shutting down important conversations when you apply your situation everywhere.
I'm talking to people who use tipped services in places where workers are not paid a living wage and they know it, but who are also are outraged about low-wage employees exerting VERY JUST moral pressure on them, and want to hide behind employers about it (“DON'T MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY FOR USING YOUR EXPLOITED LABOR IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE BEING EXPLOITED”).
Just. Stop. Nobody is FORCING you to tip, they are exerting social pressure, which is to be expected. If you don't want ANY accountability for yourself, I don't want your brand of solidarity because it's sh*t. I leave you in search of a better anti-work sub — and if anybody has any recommendations, please give them to me.
