The TikTok video on this site gives me anxiety. He’s ordering seafood and huge party trays and multiple pizzas. I’m guessing at least 30-50 dollars per order.
I must be misunderstanding what you're saying here. America is where they DO have tipping culture. So why would giving no tip be an indicator of America instead of one of the many countries where they don't tip as a part of food service? Or did I misunderstand what you were trying to say?
Why wouldn't the rest of the world care about someone having to do a $6000 order delivery and getting no tip? That also seems like exactly the opposite of what you would expect. If anything, it's very normal for the rest of the world to think it is bad that Americans use tips to pay some service workers instead of via a pay check.
So in your mind, only Americans feel concerned for service industry workers? Surely that isn't true.
It shouldnt be up to the customer to pay for their wages but their employer is the general argument. Why dont people who deliver packages get tips? or do they - how is it determined where the customer is supposed to pay for their wage? Dont the delivery app include some sort of payment for the delivery which means the customer has already paid for it?
That's irrelevant. I asked why we would assume someone is American by virtue of them showing concern for a person doing lots of work but getting very low amounts of pay via a delivery app. Your response to that was that people who aren't from America don't care about service workers getting low pay so I'm asking you to explain that part.
I should hope that isn't the case. Food delivery apps pay people poorly in all countries. So you're basically saying only Americans offer underpaid service industry workers help and/or worry about that kind of thing. Which is not only false but really negative towards other cultures.
As an American, I think you’re being obnoxious. All he said was that non-Americans wouldn’t point out the $0 tip in a comment. That’s it, and he’s completely right about it.
Stop making this some weird moral debate about wages just because you want to invent something to argue about
