Fellow Americans, remember: if you eat out for your Thanksgiving meal, leave a fat tip for your wait staff who is working on Thanksgiving. Minimum 25%.

Naw man, 0% that shit.
I'm not playing this "oooh our food is cheap" bullshit game only to find out that is because the wait staff is underpaid. I came here to eat, not do math in my head while looking over the menu, INCREASE THE DAMN PRICES. I don't give a shit if it ends up costing MORE than tipping as long as the cost is fucking upfront.
I'm not your employer, I'm not paying you. And if your employer can't keep the restaurant afloat without underpaying you then that bitch should SINK. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS SHIT.
Then you should attempt to convince other people in order to make change instead of being a dick to waitstaff.
Sorry you're justifiably angry. Doesn't give you a free pass to be a piece of shit tho
Are you seriously saying that the customer who pays full price and no more is "a piece of shit", and not management who chooses to underpay the staff?
I'm not having any of that. I'd rather just not eat out. Enjoy no tip AND one less customer.
I'll pay extra when I get extra. I paid over 150% yesterday. I've given big tips for free services. People sometimes give my cash tip back assuming I accidentally gave them 10x my intention. But not when it's a simple transaction when I get what I ordered and I'm paying the advertised price.
The person who pays "full price and no more" in this case is @Shayeta... who was just suggesting that the price be increased so the "more" is in the price. "Full price" is whatever the shitty owner says it is, not whatever the product or service is worth and definitely not what the customer thinks it's worth.
So $10 plus a $3 tip is "paying extra" to you people but you're gonna happily pay the same shitty owner $15 "and no more" for the same meal literally because they said so. I think the clearest I can be is to point out that they're offering the "extra," just exclusively to the owners and never to the workers.
Now I'm wondering whether it's some shamefully covered-up phobia of maths or just licking some capitalist footwear under the guise of a kind of false consumerism.
Knowing how much food+service costs up front benefits the customer by allowing them to make an informed decision.
Having a higher pay benefits the workers by making their income consistent and allowing them to more easily compare salaries offered by different restaurants.
Tipping in its current state benefits only the owner by lowering operational costs and forcing the workers to depend on the generosity of the customer, conviniently making workers feel like they are getting shafted by the customer instead of the person who actually hired them.
Oh no, not a single day in the year where some shops have closed! If they visited my country they would probably have an aneurysm. Nothing is open on Sunday or public holidays. On Saturday most shops close at 18:00 many close much sooner. It depends for the rest of the week but you can not be open after 21:00.
White liberals when the cashier is "rude" to them.
Tony Stark: They rant about it for 3 hours straight
Lol the amount of angry conservative farmers who yelled at me far outweighs anyone else dude. Some of the most miserable people on the planet from what I can tell.
Get out of here with your obvious baiting.
[whispering] Conservatives are liberals too [even quieter] in fact, they're even more liberal than the democrats
Are you high?
It's times like this I realize that americans becoming a majority of the userbase is the sole reason why websites go to shit.
Na, that's mostly due to corporate enshittification.
