          Yeah I fucking wish. Some of us used to tip people out who got verbal tipped because fuck. You basically were required to stand there and look gracious while you try not to cry. On bills well into the triple digits sometimes

            I've decided; Anarchist batman would be a bunch of bike messengers and if you tweeted them with the description of someone who was shitty to service workers Anarchist Batman would hunt them down and break their kneecaps.

              Why bother with Batman as a look by that point? Why not look like something the ruling class truly fears? :cursed:

              Actually anarchist batman is already a thing and he's just incredibly upset at Superman that Stalin put him in a gulag and Superman "took too long" saving them so he has to Do A Terrorism :yea:

      One of the lesser known but common sources of mild but persistent suffering while working at a restaurant or in retail is how many times one will hear the same damn condescending jokes from :grillman: over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again and they all expect the worker to receive the joke like it's the first time it was ever heard.

          cashiers really need to start replying to that with "oh, you'll pay " and enjoy the :grillman: fly into a mixture of confusion, fear and rage

            No they would delight in you playing back and probably start coming through your line more often. You can't feed them.

          The worker needs to not look exhausted or annoyed by that or they risk losing their job, which only adds to the exhausted annoyance, too. :agony-minion:

      Someone tried to verbal tip me once and was furious when they found out we automatically added 18% to parties of 8 or more. The sons of billionaires are exactly like you imagine them, fucking guaranteed.

        :ooooooooooooooh: people with a networth of more than they can personally count when they're socially obligated to give a poor person a fraction of their pocket change

        customary tipping is fucked up ngl, but not tipping and instead offering cheesy praise and/or advice ("be good to your mother!") is low.

        Just stay home ffs

    Its where you verbally mansplain to your server how exactly you've become the tipper instead of the tippee. And then hand them a business card saying if they're interested in making it, you can talk to someone in the mailroom or over in human resources and see if there's a secretary position opening up soon.

    It’s some conspiracy theory about people who were trained by the government to go cow tipping using only their voices

    Is it like spiritual tipping where they leave a fake million dollar bill on the table and on the back it says: Go To Church

    Anyone who does that should be arrested immediately for passing counterfeit bills
