I dont really care what someone's sexual preferences are.

But its concerning when someone wants to advertise it if they dont want to date a certain race. Especially to just megaphone it out on social media like that. Nobody asked so how about you just keep it to yourself?

If you enjoy being alone then you just need to embrace it if it's what makes you happiest and is how you want to live your life.

But it doesnt sound like that's the case. And that's a pretty huge thing to fake it till you make it. And if that's true you should focus more on creating the life you want than how to accept the one you don't.

Ok, I don't care how many years of hospitality you have under your belt, standard tipping has always been 15%.

Nope, tip what you want, but your servers hate you. Servers in most places have tip out to multiple people based on percentages of sales(not tips) and it's structured on an expectation of 20%.

But it's great that you're taking your tipping guidance from a trillion dollar market cap corporation. Stick with that

Poverty has existed in every system in history. It exists substantially less in developed captitlistics countries.

do you think there might be less poverty in socialist countries if the US didn't try to kill their leaders, fund far-right counter-revolutionary movements, and impose sanctions on them, all while they're trying to develop their economy?

No, next

If you just include it into the price of the food the restaurant has to count it as sales income. Which means customers have to pay sales tax on it, the restaurant has to pay income tax on it, and the staff has to pay income tax on it. So you're going through 3 tiers of taxation instead of just one. So if you include it into the price of the food it's either going to cost more to implement or less of that money is actually going to make it into the pocket of the staff(most likely the latter)

So tipping was invented to bypass these taxes?

Maybe. I've never run a restaurant but I know margins are pretty tight. And those taxes should be bypassed tbh. If you think the establishment is being creative and the government isnt you should do some reflection.

Do you think the government or the kitchen staff needs that money more?

20% before tax is standard. It's also easier to calculate and is a marginal difference unless you're dropping some serious cash on dinner.

Not being a dick, but since when? Ive been tippng ~15% for about 15 years and everyone always seems very appreciative and my peers see if it as appropriate.

Are American tippers at 20% and Canadians at 15%?

I'm american. 20% is the standard.

I also know quite a few people with masters and PhDs in economics. None of them are socialists.

no you fucking don't
also do you realize the USSR also produced many people who were still anti capitalist despite the USSR's failure? I'm sure you ignore them because they don't fit your narrative
and it's really funny how you guys go on and on away the failure of communism while constantly ignoring the daily failures of capitalism
Like there are tons and tons of people starving in capitalists countries
the failures of communist countries are because communism is a failed idelogy but the failures of capitalist countries aren't indicative of capitalism being a failure because i'll explain later

Lol, okay compelling arguement. Feel free to post the source that makes you think I'm full shit on that observation, I suspect its just youre uninformed gut.

Sure I have an opinion, capitalism is the best economic system in human history.

More of an objective fact, but I'll accommodate the economic and historically illiterate.

So you're an economist? Do you have opinions on other topics? I hope you're an expert on everything then. I can't believe CE is full of experts in literally all fields given all the opinions shared here.

Didnt say I'm an expert. Above average isnt exacly a high bar. I have a bachelor degree in finance. I dont really place a lot of value into that but I think it's fair to say I know more than you're average asshole.

I also know quite a few people with masters and PhDs in economics. None of them are socialists. So being idiolistically anti capitalism is the equivilant to be idiolistically anti climate change to me. You're going against most everyone who actually knows what they're talking about.

Im not making the arguement that society has reached apex and can't be improved. Im just shooting down shitty ideas that have been disproven since before anyone here was born.

Ask anyone who was lucky enough to immigrate to the west from the USSR how they feel about socialism. Who the fuck are any of you to tell people who have actually lived it they're all wrong?

I agree culinary workers are underpaid, but that's not really the service staff's fault

My problem with tipping is that, at the places I worked at, they don't split the tips. They do a great job with the service and get tipped? That's fine. I do an exceptional job with the meal and have the people saying "Wow!"? They get tipped. So what happens is for the "special of the day", we phone it in and experiment on the staff to make the actually really good meals and concoctions. One time I made a nachos and cheese mix to share around and I had a server ask me one time why I didn't make it a special. I looked at my coworker and we laughed at her. Rule of thumb for cooking: if they're not paying for the knowledge, keep it in your head. No need to make your master richer.

Really, they should raise the prices and do away with tipping. Just felt like venting a bit.

Raising prices is a bad solution. A lot of places have started charging a culinary fee which is basically an automatic charge thats based on a percentage of food sales and is basically structured like a tip that goes to the kitchen staff.

If you just include it into the price of the food the restaurant has to count it as sales income. Which means customers have to pay sales tax on it, the restaurant has to pay income tax on it, and the staff has to pay income tax on it. So you're going through 3 tiers of taxation instead of just one.

I tip 20% and that was considered generous back in the day. I also worked as a dishwasher and worked my way up as a cook. Now I hate tipping with a passion. People will go on and on about how bad servers have it, but ask any server if they want to switch to dishwashing or prepping food. They'll turn tail and bail out so hard.

Whenever my bf and I are out to eat I ALWAYS tip a lot. Servers deal with a lot of stupid shit, people who think they're entitled to be little shits (also see: people who think it's the server's fault the cook made your meal incorrectly), AND are disgustingly underpaid, so it's the least I can do.

agreed.
Poor tipping is just closeted classism

From my experiance bad tippers are usually poor people.

When I worked in nicer places I usually felt bad for them. They're obviously way out of their price range and really just shouldnt have been there.

I dont mean that in an elitist way. But if the price of dinner stresses you out it's not worth it. Imo at least. I've been there

How many economists are on CE? They make up what percentage of politicians or voters? We don't live in some extreme technocracy. Representatives who aren't experts on everything represent people who aren't experts on everything. Do you get mad at everyone who criticizes something they are not an expert at? "I don't see you coaching a professional sports team or directing movies!" Or just use that to shout down political views you disagree with?
