Tipping is just another way for the corporations to reduce the overhead by having the customer pay the wages of the employee directly, reducing both the budget for salaries and also the reducing ancillary expenses like unemployment insurance and employer wage withholding, occupational privilege tax, etc.
It also makes these jobs falsely competitive against other “unskilled” jobs where tipping isn’t the norm.
I thought yanks were all for the free market, tipping is the oppositeness to this as it negates the free market whereby companies complete with wages and benefits for staff.
So, you’re supporting the unfair system.
Only because you live in a country where they don’t pay people properly.
You yanks are crazy with your attitude to pay.
Even with an insane 20% tip I don’t think you’ve worked it out right. A 20% tip on the food (because why would you tip on a service charge??) comes to 4.09
Did someone say magic tree house?

Fuck off frog face.
Not really a controversy, just I think sometimes people assume it was just England dragging all the other countries out.
Thank you for not pretending like Wales voted remain (or was it just that they’d not qualify anyway)
Sorry for coming on a bit strong.
It had just started to feel like people were trying to say that I thought range anxiety was absolutely never legitimate.
In reality most people will do maybe one journey a year where it could possibly be. For them they’ll have saved so much from reduced maintenance and running costs of an EV that they could hire an ICE vehicle for that one trip and still have saved themselves money.
Of course if you’re way off the top end of the bell curve with your usage an EV may not yet be the best option for you.
Ok, what’s your point? Did I say it’s always and in every single niche scenario people are going to come up with a perception issue? Or did I in fact say it’s largely (as in most of the time and in most cases) a perception issue?
Sorry about the hoops issues, I clearly slightly misread
However, two can play at being pedantic. I addressed your point about range anxiety before you even made it. As I said originally it is largely perception. I even went as far as to agree with you that in the 0.000001% of journeys you identified it would be an issue.
jumping through hoops which doesn’t exist with gas cars.
You have to physically drive to a different location to get petrol. That’s a hoop. Just because you’re used to it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
What if I have 3 people driving, like in a road trip? You can’t continuously drive after refueling anymore. It isn’t just a perception thing, it absolutely requires planning and stops you wouldn’t take otherwise.
It is a perception. The vast majority of trips this won’t be an issue. In the once in a bluemoon that you’ll be driving more than the range of the car, yes, it could be. This is where it’s perception. People seem to think that they’ll run commuting to work or half the journeys they take will be affected. Whereas it’s really really rare.
Good to know that aliens use the same standardized American outlets and plugs.
It’s very lucky they don’t use European or British of the other dozen or so types of plug that exist globally.
