Banning tips is shit anti worker bullshit that nobody here should support
Everyone should have a living wage where tips aren’t necessary but if someone WANTS TO GIVE YOU A TIP and your EMPLOYER SAYS NO they should be fucking killed lol
Remembering all the times i had to sneak around like Im palming a drug drop because a customer at the retail store i worked at wanted to give me $5 or $20 but I’d have been FIRED FOR ACCEPTING
Okay, but if we’re working together and you get paid more than me because you lucked out on a good table, or because you’re prettier or smile bigger or whatever, I’m going to resent it. Do you not see how this destroys solidarity and creates competition?
This is why workers pool tips, and why bosses hate it when workers pool tips. Equal pay for equal work.
Like I had a co-worker who was a conventionally attractive young woman and even she didn’t like getting tipped more because it weirded her out from creeps and she felt bad getting paid more when we all worked just as hard. Sure she probably liked having more money than less money but it doesn’t really help anyone imo.
Maybe you getting a better table than me, or being the first one to pick up that $20, is the difference between me having a big plate of hunger for dinner tonight or not. Maybe I will cry about it, because I just got to watch my meal get taken by someone else.
All this does is create competition and resentment between servers, which is exactly how the boss likes it. That’s why bosses often ban pooling tips, they want you to rub it in my face that you got more money than me and ask me if I’m jealous, so that I think about that instead of thinking about how low our wages are. It displaces the blame for low pay from the boss to our coworkers.
Also, the boss can use tips as a way to play favorites! Maybe you’re the boss’s family so you get all the best tables and I get the scraps, because the boss wants you to get more tips than me. Am I supposed to just smile and be happy for you?
I find users here to be more pleasant on average than anywhere else I’ve been on the internet. That being said, we do have a small but obnoxiously loud population of misanthropes here as well.
First formal warning. Reports of your poor and inappropriate public behavior have been filling the mod report box for a little over a year now.
There will be no discussion on this being a one-off eruption of poor behavior as you have been consistently hostile and antagonistic towards other users both here on hexbear and beyond in the fediverse, you do not try and take the most charitable interpretation of or engage in good faith with fellow users, you have demeaned or harassed others for caring about a topic or details of a topic more than you do.
You will be personally observed from here on out until you correct your behavior or you are permanently banned from the site.
You will be afforded clemency for any future eruptions of hostile and antagonistic behavior in one day as one-day occurrences to prevent report dog piling or executing every report as a separate occurrence to rapidly climb up the moderator escalation plan. However I or any other admins retain the final say on whether or not we see the need to jump the ladder and go straight to permanently banning your account.
You are encouraged to make ample use of the block feature to minimize the possibility of engagement with other users you may have frictional exchanges with.
you are one of the most consistently rude and unpleasant users on here, i recognise your username for constantly toeing this line of non-bannable antisocial behaviour. did you know it costs nothing to be nice?

Actually, everyone should receive equal pay for equal work. Tips create disparities between workers for basically no reason.

why are you so rude?
it’s an overall hexbear user thing I’ve noticed

i agree that it’s quite a big problem on the wider site, i am spoiled by mostly chilling in the trans mega.

Nothing i said merits this but thanks for the warning instead of just a summary ban
you are one of the most consistently rude and unpleasant users on here, i recognise your username for constantly toeing this line of non-bannable antisocial behaviour. did you know it costs nothing to be nice?

I just responded to their comment with gentle disagreement, I don’t really see how that’s “harassment”
This interaction has left me feeling like shit.
you are not harassing anyone, they are just crashing out on you unfairly.
Hey you’re kind you and actually had a fair point, you’re not wrong here.
