+title: Fuck Tipping
+points:
+ - title: Tipping is hostile to customers.
+ description:
+ - |
+ Businesses embrace the tipping culture so that they can offload the
+ responsibility to pay proper wages onto their customers while
+ <em>still</em> selling their products with a high profit margin.
+ So the customer pays the margin twice &mdash; it's <em>already
+ included</em> in the bill, <em>and</em> in the tip you're "supposed" to
+ leave.
+ - |
+ Furthermore, tipping is manipulative in nature.
+ It exploits customers by using their egos, as well as senses of guilt
+ &amp; duty.
+ Sometimes, even peer pressure!
+ Personally, I'd prefer to just pay the bill.
+ - title: Tipping is hostile to workers.
+ description:
+ - |
+ Bosses can use the knowledge about their workers' tips against them.
+ While the income from tips is often low &amp; unstable, bosses will
+ still use them to refuse salary increases, health insurance upgrades,
+ etc.
+ Therefore, tipping destroys the power of employees during salary &amp;
+ benefits negotiations.
+ - title: Tipping encourages bias.
+ description:
+ - |
+ The tipping culture promotes unfairness and bias, because customers are
+ prioritized based on their perceived generousity (and treated
+ accordingly).
+ - title: Tipping is awkward &amp; lame.
+ description:
+ - |
+ Anybody can remember countless times they were trying to collect enough
+ cash from people at the table to make for a "decent" tip.
+ Or the awkward, rushed calculation of the number to write down in a
+ special "Tip:" field that you know the waiter will inspect momentarily.
+ Or the stupid iPad tipping machines that are now part of the web
+ folklore?
+ Jesus Christ, give me a break.
