 I just paid $27 for a burger, salad and a shake, at a fast food place.. And they asked for a tip… NGMI 
 Fast food prices are insane these days. 
 And the worst part is the employees are probably making like $7/hour  
 Slave labor. Seriously, tipping has its roots in slavery. It's a crime to pay waiters $2.00 an hour, then requiring them to share their tips via tip-pooling and expecting the customers to make up the difference. Fucking criminal. 
 …and then you get a waiter who winds up being a smarmy, obsequious, manipulative fuck.
Contrast that with the European system, where waiters are paid a liveable wage, get 5 weeks vacation and healthcare. They don’t depend upon, nor expect tips. You get a real person and you have time to sit after your meal and digest…
Yes, fucking criminal! 
 I don’t eat out anymore. It’s silly crazy cuckoo. 
 I need to just stop all together, sometimes I get the urge though.. 
 I feel like prices will become reasonable again but until then, Trader Joe’s and Publix win. 
 Unless we have a recession/depression, overall prices aren’t coming down.. Of course there could be a real estate drop, or fluxes in certain areas, but generally, we gotta get used to it..

 du délire pour nous tous , me demande comment font certains individus pour se nourrir .. 
 And they asked for the tip at the beginning of the service… 
 They were just at the counter, didn’t even bring it to me :) 
 Hopefully they tapped the screen exceptionally for you. 
 😂 
 Dirty Fiat is disgusting 
 Keep reminding myself, hamburgers aren’t getting more expensive, the dollar is getting weaker.. 
 Tipping culture is out of control.  
 Dude! That’s what I was saying last week ! And this shit is only in the U.S. 
 definitely not only in the US 
 I heard that in other countries they don't include and simp for tips like
Over here! 
 protip: buy beef with bitcoin from K & C Cattle and grill like 10 seed oil free juicy burgers for that amount 😀

 I went to a SELF SERVE froyo place where the workers literally just have you set your cup on a scale and then have you swipe your card and they asked for a tip. 
 i’ve got a kg of ground beef in the fridge. burgers for lunch it is. $15AUD p/kg for the beef. Probably make 8 burgers 
 I usually do that, but was lazy today.. 
 sometimes a change of scenery is super nice too! 
 I needed to get out, and was craving a shake.. 
 I owned 1/2 a bar/restaurant from 2015-19. Servers might get upset - a bit - if they weren’t tipped, but rarely did I ever see any of them actually ASK for a tip.  That’s just bad form. 
 Companies need to pay a livable wage to avoid this nonsense. People shouldn’t have to beg or ask for tips.  
 I'm not gonna tell you that you were scammed. 
 Something bad happened and I was the victim.. Inflation is a scam.. 
 $ is the vote/statsats/lfg/ 
 Wtf😂 
 The people working there can’t even afford to eat there.
