I made a post yesterday where I complained that tipping culture was bad, however the post lacked cohesion at times which may have caused my point(s) to become watered down or overshadowed. Due to this, I would like to start a discussion on why tipping should or should not exist so that I can propperly bring my point(s) up again.
The first main point I brought up is that the consumer should not have to worry about the livlihood of the person giving the the service (waitstaff, hairdresser, etc.) We all have our own bs that we are going through and worrying that my tip is going to screw this person over shouldn't be brought into that. Businesses should be paying their workers fairly, end of story. Though some comments from the previous post make that sound a bit more complicated, so I'm interrested in hearing feedback on that.
I think that's about it for now. Feel free to add more in the comments.
