  • It is sadly a part of canadian restaurant culture but not seen as mandatory. Canadian service workers are regulated to be paid at least minimum wage.

    Companies mostly use tipping here as an excuse for the wages to not come out of their own pockets. If tips received equal or exceed minimum wage then they don’t have to fork out the cash. If the employee only made $10hr in tips then the employer fills in the rest.

    Because of this, I mostly refuse to tip. I’m not going to subsidise a restaurant paying their employees. If you can’t afford to pay people you shouldn’t be in business.





  • Does he not speak of how organised and collectivist Bourgeois/Capitalists are seen as productive and good (because they’re rich) yet an organised and collectivist proletariat is unproductive and bad (because it makes the rich less rich). It’s fine for the rich to gather wealth and help eachother get rich but it’s not okay for the common person to help those around them rise to equal footing.

    Where organised and collectivist = Quirky and Free-spirited;

    Productive = Cool;

    Good = Fun;

    Unproductive = Uncool;

    Bad = Unfun.

    Modern society labels personality quirks and non-conformity as Cool and Fun when the person displaying those traits has money and status.

    But have a poor person display the same and they’re weird, or odd, creepy or sad. Otherwise Uncool and Unfun.

    Author’s note: I spent way to long typical out this shitpost.
