    on the one hand, tipping is toxic and enables exploitation
    on the other hand, i respect the grind and understand life is hard out there for people just trying to get by

    I’ll usually tip 20% for delivery drivers because going literal MILES to bring me my food is objectively more daunting than crossing a room.

      I always tip my pizza delivery driver, but he’s also the owner of the business and the guy making the pizza, and the pizza is fucking awesome.

      Exactly, if appropriate I would tip someone even if they’re adequately paid by their employer. Though I think it would make more sense if the minimum wage is raised instead. I also get why some cultures dislike tipping, so I just treat it on a case by case basis
