    The difference is that on slow nights, staff get paid less, which is fucked up.

    The business needs to wear the cost, because they reap the rewards, which is the narrative capitalism supposedly is about.

    Tipping sucks, I’m glad we don’t have it in Australia.

      Oh look, an Aussie that needs you know that. Yes yes, everything is better there, it has to be, why else would y’all spend so much time trying to convince everyone of it.

        Tipping does still suck though, and the way it is in many states of the US, slow business literally means employees get paid less, which is pretty fucked.

        Australia certainly isn’t perfect, and don’t let anyone tell you how great Medicare is here because it’s not what it uses to be and slowly but surely slipping into private health insurance hell due to its languishing, but heck, defensive much mate?

        I am glad that I don’t have to deal with tipping. Tipping is trash and seemingly many Americans agree it’s trash.

          Not defensive, I really don’t care for Australians, they’ve a way of conducting themselves that I find very fucking irritating. New Zealanders i can get along with.

            I’m sorry for my place of birth, and I’m sorry for liking the fact I don’t have to tip because of my place of birth, I guess?

            This is just a strange internet interaction, but may I suggest not letting people you’re not a fan of them because of their nationality?
