Tipping

Tipping is overall meaningless and gives you nothing in return except making you

Giving the employee a few extra bucks is the point.

So you're the one I delivered pizzas to in college without a tip....

It would be way better if we were like Europe and service was built in

Servers like it. They make more money this way.

Turns out they don’t make more money based on their level of service.

Working in restaurants sucks right now. Giving people a few extra bucks is a good thing to do.

May your children always deliver pizza for a living.

It's not meaningless to the person receiving the tip.

Tipping establishes a meritocracy. Tipped positions make very little hourly, and tips act as a great

Or buy a bidet if you really want to treat your tushy nicely.

I'm trying to convince my wife of this, but she isn't budging. She lived in Europe for 4 months, and wasn't impressed.

I can't wrap my head around wanting to use dry paper to clean your butt.

Shoes. Good shoes last years, vs Payless or Target trash that lasts a few months or so.

+1 to this. Good shoes are actually cheaper in the long run.
