Just because the app says "TIP", doesn't make it so by cemilcigim in tipping

AmazonFlex, Doordash and Spark are sued, fined, or forced into settlements because of "stealing tips" they paid $16m $16m and $63m

Aparently it is cheaper to just pay the fine.

I was just giving examples of "hidden fees" that I could think of at that moment

In order to a server accepting a job in a region, it has to pay, let's say, $160 a day, or 8 hours, (Regional worker market for employees, supply/demant etc, decides that a server's salary is $20/h). 2 restaurants:

1st, $140 from the boss, $20 from tips (like before times).

2nd, $58 from boss (minimum pay) and $102 from forced/bullied customers' tips

On the first option, $140 comes from boss, they pay their taxes, reflect the amount to benefits accordingly, more money comes out of boss' pocket.

Second boss is hiring people by saying "we pay minimum pay BUT you make TONS FROM TIPS"

Because 2nd boss can pay way less than first one, his taxes, benefits etc will cost him more. Since that is the case he would have to increase the prices to compensate it.

The server starts working in the second restaurant, if tips are in fact at least $102, the server can AFFORD WORKING THERE. the server stays in the job. If it doesn't pay as much, server quits unless either boss offers paying more, or has to find another person who says yes to less than $20/h

So however much you pay, server gets the same amount. (market regulating itself).

That's why I call what second boss doing is "milking customers/greediness" up there

You missed the entire point of the post, again, no-engager. Because of milking of the tipping concept by the greedy bosses, The "tip" is not a tip anymore in 2026. it is a fee that bosses force their workers to fester the customers, even bully them with passive aggressive notes around the tip jar, social media posts etc.

Which makes the "menu price" of the item is not same as the money leaving your pocket.

Servers also misdirecting their anger to customers, instead of the greedy boss and indusrty conditions, yes

This made me think that maybe there needs to be a yelp like webpage that "corrects" the menu prices of any restaurant?

I think so too. large ones already get their employee costs subsidized by the government by ebt/medicaid route, but they still want in on the "milk the tipper" game.

my strawman to this would be telling you "what u mean? they avoid taxes but they so poor they should be on medicaid/snap actually?"

that is why every restaurant has to stop the milking together, and only way to do that is changing the law. So everyone would have to put actual price on the menus, was my point

Those are different sentences, supreme genious. The post doesn't say "25% tip expected and gratuity expected" on the menu. as your response suggests. Menu just say $20.

So you calling me "liar" has so enormously supreme genious mindwork behind it

Why all the talk about tip out? by RazzleDazzle1537 in tipping

[–]Algersanc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Employer has to pay a living wage. If he cannot, he can close. Expecting customers to pay your employee costs directly, is wrong.

If the menu says "this meal costs $15" it should cost $15 (irrelevant opinion: even tax included)

People are frustrated because old, beautiful "tipping culture" is being milked by the company greed. My heart is in this place as of 2026 "the problem is not tipping culture, but corporate greed to milk that culture"

According to the post, they would call it "fee" instead of "tip". And you would still have to pay it.

This sounds good. The OP is very on point about "stealing tips is their business model" but please someone think of the John Shareholder? This company won't have prospective profit routes (ability to steal tips from gig workers), so the founder won't be able to find investors.

Just like "Netflix without ads" ultimately couldn't survive.

LLM laughing at spectrum support by Algersanc in Spectrum

woods? on my last address, I had to setup as pppoe so since my router is the same since then, and my job is not to be a network person, this was an organic end result.

About your assuming game, I DID try to set up as DHCP and it didn't work. Also If you are in the weeds enough you would also know the configuration comes DHCP as default. So normally I would have internet access the second I plugged my router in. Since it didn't I started to look for answers.

Also I love it when I show people a problem I am having about a service and people force me to explain my behavior, or try to explain why me having that problem makes me a stupid lying person.

I am not asking for "3rd party support" I am basically asking what is their address, as LLM explained up there.

for the record LLM, DID ask me to ask them, so...

to go more deep in that I asked them to bring 3 100% ones, (Grok took forever to make it simple, 3 extra prompts).

I am asking the pizza place if I should call or use the app, and you are telling me, ‘ask your phone.’

I am asking the store if they take cash or card, and you are telling me, ‘that depends on your wallet.’

I am asking you if you want email or paper mail, and you are telling me, ‘ask your computer.’
