why aren't software engineers getting any tips?
They ask. Those buy me a coffee things. People don't pay for a lot of stuff online thats why google are trying to pack more adverts into everything and everyone is going to subscription models.

The physical effort isn't why being a waiter sucks ass.
>>108776376>t has never been on a fishing boat
interacting with the general public is far more physically taxing than working in a coal mine
>>108776407>t. never worked with stakeholders as a swe
>>108776415As a developer I have never encountered a stakeholder. That's what the PM is for.
>>108776376it was for the two days I worked as a waiter before they fired me for repeatedly dropping food and spilling drinks
>>108776321Waiters have to live in high cost areas where they serve the food. Lot of waiters cannot survive without tips because their salaries barely cover rent.
>he's never gotten a peer bonuslmao get a real job
>>108777086Maybe they should have turned down the job if it isn't financially feasible to live on? If everyone did that they would be paid a fair wage, instead we have this retarded shit
>>108776407yeah, getting into some awkward situations is definitely harder than literal CO poisoning or black lung disease.
>>108776407mentally taxing? maybe, i might find it soPHYSICALLY taxing? you are impressively retarded
>>108776407i've cooked and i've waited. as someone who hates people, waiting is MUCH easier. servers are just a bunch of whiny bitches, although the hot ones you can at least put up with
>make some shitty thing>buy me a coffee>never have to work again
>>108777067Based retard. Don't be ashamed of that because everyone is above customer service work.
>>108776321The dumbest thing with tipping waiters is that it's a percentage of the price. Why do you deserve more for carrying a steak with gold flakes from the kitchen to my table than you do for a 5 dollar plate of chicken tendies from the kids menu?
>>108776321I want to print this in postcard size and leave it in every one of those cheque books those waiters give me.
>>108777300I went to some expensive place in Las Vegas and because of the percentage, the waiter wanted $80 in tip. Even the fucking greeter or host or whatever (the cuck that said where my table is and did nothing else) wanted $80. Fuck that shit, I gave them $20 each and just dealt with their irritated faces when I left.
>>108776321>if you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out.I don't eat out :)
>>108777317>some people get paid $80 to just say helloamericans literally cannot suffer
>>108777086only in retardica
>>108777153They'd just give it some fresh immigrant who doesn't mind working for peanuts. So no it wouldn't result in everyone being pair fair wages.
>>108777317>I gave them $20 eachshould have done $0.00 and say that you're from Europe
>>108777889I'd only just arrived in the US at that time, I hardened within the next few weeks and told some greeter at another place to take up his shit wage issues with his boss.
>>108776321wouldn't the server share the tip with the kitchen? for which country is that comic strip?
>>108777932Some restaurants I've been to in the US list it all out individually, so there are percentage sections for>cooks>waiters>greeters/hostsUsually they set that with 15% as the 'recommended' tip amount but encourage you to make it more. If you had a big meal, you get thoroughly fucked when the bill comes when they want 15% a piece.
...why haven't you tipped your sysadmin today?
>>108776321is that Linus?
>>108777953>15% per person
They need coffee to work!
>>108777086Everything is high cost in Germany and tips aren't a thing
>>108777193Sitting is literally worse than smoking. Only thing that's even unhealthier is a lack of physical intimacy.
>>108776321because they totally resist using AI
>>108776321they do get a pizza party when they deliver multimillion product
>>108776321Why don't Americans simply pay them a living wage, instead of relying on begging customers for money?
>>108776376Kinda agree on this, I'd rather do manual labour and get my dues than have to deal with 'customers' on a daily basis. Being in sales was one of the most hellish 7 months of my life before I quit.
>>108776321there's a few projects that work via community members financing devs through tips/donations, e.g. Linux Mint, much of the Babashka/Clojure stack. But by and large people seem to prefer to let companies harvest their data and use ad-ridden software than donate some money to good projects.
>>108776387>fishing boatnobody on left has had to deal with the 'new hour new nigger' problem and people on actual hardcore boats like alaskan crab shit get paid bank
>>108777968I've lost so many loads to Sabrina.
>>108777317>the waiter wanted $80 in tip.And how did you come to know that exactly? Do they tell you how much tip they want or what? I can't imagine the exact situation and the sentences they'd say.Asking for a tip sounds out of this world rude to me, you'd be considered an asshole if you did that where I'm from (e*rope).
>>108776321If they are white I tipIf not I dontI dont think about it any more than that
>>108776321
>>108778577In France some establishments started to ask for tips from the payment terminal a couple years ago. I don't know how I feel about that, it's clearly pushy but the wages are low compared to the price of life here. No way for me to know if the money actually goes to the waiter. I'm also not paying 5 extra eurodollars or more for each beer I take.
>>108776321The reason is that the waiter has direct face to face contact with the customer, and americans are cucks that fall for peer pressure and group pressure (and other things I dont know what is)
>>108778638Americanization, dont do it while look them dead in the eye =:|
>>108778658this will keep your mouth shut>>108776415
>>108778638But isn't that about being asked at the terminal by the system? There's no way someone would ask in speech
>>108778668Wtf, if you are a coal miner, you ARE interacting with the general public, your employer, and they want you to move FAST
>>108776321Anti-tippers are the most spiritually and/or physically brown people on the planet. You can’t even call it Jewish behavior because that insults their intelligence.You tip service because you can’t put an objective price on your experience with it, but it still matters, so it needs to be bargained for. This incentivizes service workers to make you comfortable, not just serviced. If restaurants stopped accepting tips, they’d just raise menu prices to make up the difference. It isn’t “le greedy minimum wagies” it’s making a portion of their income dependent on their PERFORMANCE and giving YOU CONTROL. You’re the same cattle that want the government to handle healthcare and education on top of being welfare leeches reliant on the net input of others into the system to prop it up for your gibs.I don’t tip my barista in the drivethru, they’re fulfilling an order, just as I don’t tip McDonald’s workers or Walmart clerks. I tip my delivery drivers and wait staff 20% on average, they can make or break the experience depending on the care they put in. I tip my hairdresser 25-50%, they spend half an hour tending to my head and do their damndest to make it easygoing both physically and conversationally. I reward behavior I want to see in my life and reject behavior I don’t want to see, and thank god they haven’t taken away my opportunity to do so because antisocial retards can’t see it for what it is.
>>108778864>the most spiritually and/or physically brown people on the planet. That's americans, and they like they only tipers out there.
do black people tip in america?just curious
>>108778870Go figure that freedom land is the only place where I can enjoy my freedoms.
>>108778921No. t. did doordash deliveries during college.
>>108778864Ahhh yess, those filthy brown for you're, uuuhh, experience, and they deserve it, it's your job to decide how much they get, yes, exactly *rub rub*
>>108778953Oh look, an esl defending his welfie behavior with meaningless sperging! With opposition like this I really don’t need a defense.
When the waiter asks for a tip I give them the tip of my dick which is still wet and soggy from diarrhea grease.
>>108778864This is why you are all going at drive thoughts, while your sweaty fat butt is slowly merging with the car seat. At least you wont be shamed for not giving mr brownie his "fair share'
>>108776376Maybe don't get my fucking order wrong. How hard is it to write down hamburger without onions and then deliver it to the right person?
>>108779768>paying for goods and services is le brown!>gibs me dat fo free!You’re a parody.
>>108777086>Waiters have to live in high cost areasPublic transport completely negates this.
>>108779798>hamburger without onions child
>>108776321I've got a tip right here *unzips dick*
Back in the good old middle ages, restaurants would be more like buffets, where the waiter would walk around with the plate with the goods, and try to tempt the customers. The rich would try to earn favour of the waiter, and give him money to be prioritized. And THIS is why we pay the waiter tips, so we can go first in line! And btw, I just made up that story, it's bullshitThis>>108779943
>>108779798eat your vegetals
>>108778145Tips are very much a thing in Germany. Maybe not a fixed amount of X% (you just round up X euros) and maybe not in a coffee shop, but I have never NOT seen someone tip in a normal restaurant, old or young, except for some reddit basedboys I used to hang out with in university
>>108780221>>108779928Are you those retards who think that fruits or modern vegetables are healthy? How beneficial is corn now that it's just sugar and starch?
>>108778864I tip 15% minimum but really idk why the wait staff is even there. all you need is a busser.
>>108776321trans engineers can get my tip
>>108778450The unspoken part is that tipped workers can make very good money but they have to complain about poverty wages to keep up the charade. Restaurants that pay 'living wages' and dont allow tips lose all their best waitstaff to tipping establishments. The biggest reason that tipping is so entrenched is that tipped workers LOVE being tipped.The comic does cut to the heart of the injustice imo- tipped workers make very good money compared to other, harder, non service occupations. Especially if they are cute girls. My wife noticed that there weren't a lot of female waitstaff in Italy - I suspect that without tipping girls arent incentivized to do it.
>>108777300Isn't gold like super heavy? Makes sense it would be worth a bigger tip since it's more work.
>>108778864>this is different because... it just is okay!?!?!>if you don't tip... you're brown!!!Not tipping, sorry shekelberg maybe pay your workers yourself.
>>108778864not gonna read thatnot gonna tip
>>108776321real software enjiners do receive tips in the form of Restircted Stock Unets as part of there total compensatin packages
>>108780949fruits are literally designed to be eaten, the only other thing being milk. its healthy
>>108777420It's not a job that requires any skill
>>108778577>And how did you come to know that exactly? Do they tell you how much tip they want or what?Yes, you get the 'suggested' tip amount listed on the bill. The tip is a percentage of the meals cost, so a $100 meal would create a $15 tip for the waiter based on the standard 15% tipping in the US.
>>108776321Software engineers make $130,000-148,000 per year on average whereas tipped workers make $2.13/hr
>>108776407Try standing the retards while having to drive them home, even being a chofer is way more physically taxing.
>>108782707For now, but AI is coming for them.
>>108776407I want to be a coal miner. They get to drive this thing nowadays.
>>108782725goodcan't wait until we get AI drives those waiter cunts away
>>108778864you're brown
>>108778638Same in Oz, but 99.9% of the time it's because the PoS is configured for and lock to US settings and they'll skip through the tip prompt
>>108782809kek. even in the US this shit is controversial, we only put up with it because there are laws that allow people to be paid below minimum wage if their job involves receiving tips. you guys are retarded if you don't respond with overt hostility
>>108782809There are some places like Zambrero that have tip jars, so they're really trying to force it here. A few other places also tried this but gave up after a few months since everybody knows what minimum wage is here.
>>108782735BAGGER 288, BAGGER 288
>>108780949World in a year if america was nuked tomorrow.
>>108782725Yeah, coming for the software engineers. People still want to interact with humans over a soulless robot. AI will be taking the jobs of managers, accountants, lawyers, and corporate stooges. White collar workers are getting the ax first despite all the doomerism against the essential workers. Covid showed us which workers actually keep the nation running.
>>108783726>Covid showed us which workers actually keep the nation running.Not waiters and all that shit, people went full Uber Eats and Doordash and that remains extremely pervasive.
>>108783726Tech workers are going to be the last to get replaced. Bubble will pop in 1-2 years and then they will be forced to hire tons of new SWEs. I think other white collar workers are fucked though, finance, HR etc where all they do is spreadsheets and send emails. You can put debugging output into claude and it can make accurate spreadsheets for you in 5 seconds.
>>108783773That "women in tech" stuff (no idea what they even actually did) will be disappear pretty fast, if not already. I don't see those videos anymore so maybe they've all been fired.
>>108782348redpilled af
>>108778864I tip the inverse of what they ask for because I don't like shitty beggars. >Don't put a recommended?15-18%>Recommend I tip 25%?5%
>>108776321You would tip your robot waiter?
>>108776407Don't be a waiter then. Surely a roomba and kyosk can do the same job.
>>108784723>Surely a roomba and kyosk can do the same job.Look up BellaBot
>>108776376I don't care if, how and why being a waiter is unpleasant. It's a job they voluntarily decided to do and it's their employers responsibility to pay them for it. I will never tip, even if it means rotating restaurants so I only go back to the same one a year later.
>>108779798>>108780949onions taste great
>>108778638manchu queue, but for submission to the 1,000 year american empire
>>108779928>>108785386nta but onions make me vomit, fart and diarrhea
>>108785518All at the same time?
>>108776321the amount of seethe that tips and servers generate makes me respect them
>>108777889i slip them a "workers of the world unite" card and watch them boil in their skin
>>108784779Finally, ethical slaves. Anyone deluding themselves that meat waiters are gonna be in demand is huffing copium. I can't wait. Complete wagie decimation.
because you never saw or communicated with a software engineer in yer life, drooling retard
