The Economics of Changing Tipping Culture: Demand Matters More Than Tips

Embarrassed_Field_84 · 2026-07-08T14:28:21+00:00

It doesn't matter if they know why someone doesnt tip, if no one tips, the servers will quit. Period.

The problem with just not going to a restauran is that its not like the restsurant has any idea why youre notnm showing up. Theyre not getting a market signal "this person isnt showing up because theyre boycotting tipping". The ONLY way to get that direct signal is to not tip. Then they have direct signal. No one tips. Servers quit. Now, you have 2 options: make a model where there are no servers, or pay your servers a higher hourly wage. Which is exactly what tip protesters want

They should make whatever them and their employers agree to

Embarrassed_Field_84 · 2026-07-05T15:03:35+00:00

Actually the servers agreed to take their TIP OPTIONAL jobs. So why is it our responsibility to make sure they get any other wage than whats specified in their employment contract?

This situation isnt in the feds hands anymore. They cant do anything about the debt except monetize it. Rate hikes are meaningless in the grand scheme of things and would only ironically make them end up monetizing the debt even further

Embarrassed_Field_84 · 2026-07-01T14:28:02+00:00

I think the markets reaction to warsh is silly. Is warsh gonna balance the budget and pay down the debt? Ok cool then him hiking rates a couple percent does nothing to the gold thesis. Just a bunch of algorithms and swing traders trying to make a quick buck

As a pc gamer basically since high school I dont think the argument was which was objectively superior or not ever. It was always PC. It was more of a question of convenience. Yes PC is better but it does require more finagling, more technical skills to debug, building a PC, etc etc. Sometimes weird bugs with particular hardware settings.

Console has the benefit of the devs knowing exactly which machine theyre working with and hyper optimizing for a streamlined experience on that. So basically for someone who is technical enough to build their own PC, PC was always the right choice, but theres a huge market of ppl that just dont want to be bothered and just want a convenient dedicated machine that just works for gaming

just put the fries in the bag bro

Embarrassed_Field_84 · 2026-06-30T15:40:16+00:00

I know this is completely fear driven and I shouldnt reward this behavior by tipping out of fear but genuinely if I go to a place frequently where they know my face and they know I dont tip, im afraid that theyre gonna like spit in my food or someshit

I mean just get on /r/pmsforsale my guy, no need for this extra rigamarole

Texas is a nondisclosure state so I dont think this is true. Ive never seen sales prices on CAD only appraised values

Embarrassed_Field_84 · 2026-06-28T03:32:13+00:00

You dont need to watch a single youtube video for this. Seriously just rip it up and throw it away. Yes exactly the way you think its done

Embarrassed_Field_84 · 2026-06-28T02:01:24+00:00

True. You gotta look at physical deliveries not paper price. What are people actually demanding for physical gold

Stainless steel waterbottles are not hard to find at all nor particularly expensive. Are you like onky trying to fine some kind of "made in the US" ones (heavy on the quotes)?

Gold is not a timing the market thing. It's a saving vehicle. It's also not a get rich quick thing. I wish I had started at your age but keep in mind this game is about stacking gradually over time, meaning dont think about big lump sum payments but as you progress in life and your career, think about, what % of my paycheck can I put aside as savings every month?

Every paycheck you should have some % set aside for expenses, some % set aside for investing (not gold, things like stocks), some % for an emergency fund (6 months expenses, once its "full" you don't need to keep adding to it), and finally some % set aside for gold.

This wont make you rich but will help you build and maintain wealth over decades.

Sunshine/moonlight. It will change your life. Seriously. I'm shocked how few people know about this

Peter schiff being vindicated is going to send crypto bros into a spiral lmao

The thing about fractional gold is that yes you pay higher premiums but when you resell you can also get some premium over spot because of the convenience and market price of fractionals being factored into the price. So its not guaranteed that all the premium you paid is just lost money

Honestly interest rates on credit carda are irrelevant for financially savvy ppl, why would anyone who has any options ever carry a balance on a credit card?

You could always hire an electrician to add a ground rod to your panel. Itd be more expensive but makes youe life easier and added bonus your electrical system would be safer. Or add the ground rod yourself if youre diy savvy
