      They’re not a thief because they don’t live in an economy that requires tipping; they’re an outsider looking in on American tipping culture and criticising it.

      You Americans should tip because your economy demands it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not stupid.

          I think the leadership of doordash should be rounded up and shot.

          https://www1.salary.com/DoorDash-Inc-Executive-Salaries.html

          Keith Yandell $4.8 m

          Prabir Adarkar $15.9 m

          Tia Sherringham $12.6 m

          Ravi Inukonda $12.6 m

          $44.9 million a year between just 4 of the exec board. Fuck them.

          I think that Door dash as an example makes quite a lot of money, and they should pay their drivers.

            Agreed. Do you also think that people who use the services provided by door dash, but refuse to pay the delivery drivers (by refusing to tip) should also be punished, or should the drivers not get so pissy about those people?

            I’m going to quote their comment

            Why are Americans so afraid of charging people the cost of doing business and then get all pissy if they don’t get paid what they believe to be the cost of doing business?

            In this quote who is the “they” who is not being paid? What does it mean that they’re “getting all pissy?”

            Here’s my interpretation:

            1. “they” are a worker who is dependent on tips

            2. “get all pissy” means to get upset, and has a negative connotation, like the person is being unreasonable by being so upset

            I feel like I’m being fucked with here because this is pretty clearly, to my eyes, treating the plight of the person who was stiffed as something trivial. Treating the suffering of someone who was wronged as trivial pretty clearly to me is defending the person who wronged them.
