God’s (sometimes unhinged) disaster, held together by duct tape, prayer, and whatever’s left of my dignity. Lord, have mercy on this spiritual trainwreck.

The waiter did NOT do the very same job for both of you, and the fact that you think so proves you’ve never served a table in your life. Your porterhouse requires the server to know the cut, the temperature options, the sides, the timing, how long to let it rest, and to check back on temp accuracy. If it comes out wrong, that’s a longer interaction, a refire, a manager visit. Your friend’s salad gets dropped off and forgotten… But even if the labor were identical, which it isn’t, percentage-based tipping exists because the restaurant’s entire cost structure scales with the price of the dish. A $100 porterhouse costs the restaurant more in product, storage, prep, and cook time than a $20 salad. The server working in that environment is operating in a higher-revenue, higher-expectation setting. The tip reflects participation in that tier, not a per-calorie labor calculation… And here’s what you keep dodging. If you don’t like percentage-based tipping, what’s your alternative? A flat rate? Then servers at fine dining make the same as servers at Denny’s, nobody works fine dining, and your precious porterhouse doesn’t get served at all. You haven’t thought past the complaint. You just don’t want to pay, and you’re building a philosophy around it… You told me to ‘focus or go away.’ I’ve been focused this entire time. You’re the one who keeps changing the argument every time the last one gets dismantle. Brainless mop…

@SpacedPotatoes @Malicious_Hero @NexialEdge @LarryJones Stop showing your ignorance. It's the very same restaurant with the very same waiter. My friend orders a salad and coke in one table and I order a Porterhouse at another table. Why wouod the tip be 5x for me when tjebwaiter had the very same job for us both. Focus or go away

Can we stop saying " if you can’t afford to tip you can’t afford to dine out!" We need to be saying, "If a restaurant can’t pay its employees a livable wage without depending on the generosity of customers then they can’t afford to own a business!”

You just moved the goalposts from ‘same restaurant’ to ‘every neighborhood restaurant in NYC’ because your original example fell apart. That’s not a rebuttal. That’s a retreat… But let’s follow your new argument anyway. You’re telling me a neighborhood restaurant in NYC is serving a porterhouse and the service ‘won’t be spectacular.’ So your argument against percentage-based tipping is that some restaurants have bad service? That’s not an argument against tipping. That’s an argument for tipping LESS at that specific restaurant. The percentage system already accounts for that. 15% for mediocre service. 20%+ for great service. You just described the system working exactly as designed and called it a problem… And a ‘decent’ NYC neighborhood restaurant charging $100 for a porterhouse is still a higher-tier establishment whether you want to admit it or not. Rent alone in NYC forces that. The server at that place is still navigating a higher-cost, higher-expectation environment than someone at a Waffle House. The price of the menu reflects the cost of the entire operation, and the tip scales with it because the environment demands more… You started with a bad example. Got corrected. Pivoted to a worse one. Got corrected again. And now you’re leading with ‘you posit idiotic points of view’ because you’ve got nothing left. That’s not debate. That’s a tantrum…

@SpacedPotatoes @Malicious_Hero @NexialEdge @LarryJones You posit idiotic points of view. Every decent ( not even fancy) restaurant in NYC will offer those 2 items. A porterhouse ( or some other more expensive dish) can be had in almost every neighborhood restaurant and the service won't be spectacular or even upgraded due to this.

@SpacedPotatoes @LarryJones Sure. You make it sound like everyone would be rich in a month by just working weekends. I think the reality is different.

The House just voted against banning soda from SNAP. Why should the government fund your soda purchases? If SNAP recipients want to buy sugary drinks, they can do it on their own dime, not on the backs of a taxpayer-funded nutrition program.

@konstructivizm I can tell you right off hand that the Earth/Sun and Sun/Betelgeuse comparisons are not even close to being accurate… the star Betelgeuse is approximately 500 times the diameter of our Sun and the Sun is approximately 109 times the diameter of Earth

@Matt_Pinner That’s not quite how it works, though, because property taxes are always increasing, and those costs need to be offset somehow… And it’s their property so they can increase the rent if they want to. Only a liberal would say that a property owner can’t increase their costs

@themancalledroy don’t post something then run like a little bitch and block me… It is literally illegal under federal law for restaurants to take a cut of server tips. The Fair Labor Standards Act prohibits employers from keeping any portion of an employee’s tips. If a restaurant is doing that, they’re breaking the law and the server can sue them. So either you’re making things up, or every restaurant you’ve worked at was committing wage theft and you just sat there and took it… Tip-outs to bussers, bartenders, and hosts? That’s servers sharing with other front-of-house staff who helped them. That’s not ‘the restaurant taking their cut.’ That’s the team splitting the work… You went from ‘meal prices have nothing to do with labor costs’ to ‘restaurants steal tips’ to name-calling in three posts. That’s not a debate strategy. That’s a guy who knows he lost and is just throwing things at the wall. Every single reply you’ve made has been factually wrong, and instead of learning something, you got louder. That’s not how being right works…
