    Yet another thing that has been eye opening about living in Europe is how fucked and terrible tipping is in the states. Twenty percent AS A MINIMUM? When I’m picking up food at the counter??? AYFKM?

      If a business can’t afford to pay its workers a living wage that business should not exist. If we all stopped going to these places they’ll be forced to fix it.

      But Reddit Vs Lemmy is like a microcosm of this issue. Most people will stay on Reddit because god forbid they get inconvenienced or have to do something differently.

      The same way people won’t leave twitter, won’t stop getting food at McDonalds or shopping at Wal-Mart, etc…

      Not to mention, you can’t have a percentage go up and blame it on inflation.
