Nemo , to Work Reform in Got tipping rage? This barista reveals what it's like to be behind the tip screen

Yeah, but “reform” has the connotation of “making things better” and also “working within the current system”. Scrapping a working system for the sake of ideological purity ain’t it.

Sounds like you’re operating off how you think tipping should work, and not the organic system that’s actually in place.

Being paid by the consumer rather than the restaurant means my loyalty is to the consumer, not the restaurant. And that’s a good thing.

I’m only mad at those who are trying to disrupt the system that lets me support a family of five on one income. There is ONE industry that’s figured out a way to make a living wage work for everybody and I think that’s worth defending.

Getting rid of tipping would mean higher prices for the consumer, worse service, lower pay for workers, and for what? Because the owners “should” be paying? Worse outcomes for the sake of an ideological nitpic.

Yes, I tip baristi, delivery drivers, and fast food workers. And daycare teaxhers, and my garbage-pickers too.

What is going on with the comments here? Tipping is great for the worker. It allows me to sell my labor directly to consumers without the ownership class taking a cut as middleman.

Frankly, I have to reemphasize what the author said: Not tipping changes nothing for the owner; it only exploits the laborer.
