Plus most of the machines are set up to do the percentage tip on the amount after taxesLong time ago it was 10%, then it creeped up tp 15%. Now many places expect 20%. Canada at least.

I dont think there really is a good reason, except it's embedded as a societal norm for certain jobs to get tips so you go with the flow.That just explains why waiters want to be tipped, not why I as a customer am expected to pay a premium for their service or why, unlike almost every other industry, the burden of ensuring that employees get paid a decent wage gets placed upon me and not the employer.
Canada's system is a joke. In Ontario servers now make $15 an hour minimum and still expect 20% tips. Some machine's pre tipping options start at 20% now.Not a fan of it, but depending where you live (US and Canada tipping is a big thing) you typically got to go with the flow or else servers and friends think youre cheap.
Think about it this way:Recently went to dinner with a buddy and the service was really bad. The level of how bad it was is subjective. I suggested to leave a dollar to make a point. My friend wanted to leave at least 10% for their service. I said āwhat service?ā If Iām leaving a restaurant feeling upset when I paid money for their food and service then the concept of tipping thrown out. What do you guys think?
Expected tipped jobs have lower hourly wage than minimum wage. It's built in the system.I dont think there really is a good reason, except it's embedded as a societal norm for certain jobs to get tips so you go with the flow.
There's actually very few jobs that even involve tips, but some have a halo above them saying do it. A McDonalds worker hustling to make food or do cash register stuff as fast as possible during a lunch time rush has society expectations of $0 tips. But a server in a restaurant (no matter how busy or dead it is) is assumed in some counties to always get a tip.
One's adding a bit on top, the other is taking away the bit on top.I donāt get the correlation between the two completely individual and entirely independent subject matters.
Well said.i don't tip. i don't agree with it. i'm in the UK and tipping isn't a big thing here. restaurants and hotels are about the only places where people tip. taxis take tips too but they can chase themselves.
pay your workers a fair wage instead of having them rely on the generosity of customers. i hate if i go somewhere, pay for their services, and have someone stand about waiting for more money and get pissy when you don't give them anything. don't get fucking mad at me get mad at your employer.
i very rarely ever go to restaurants but when i do i maybe leave a few pound. i don't whip out a calculator and figure out the percentage. you get a few pound, whatever change i have, and that's it. if i order online then i also pay online. if i pay with cash i've had people literally begging at my door or getting cheeky with me. fuck off and take it up with the restaurant.
other than that the only times i've tipped are when i've been in the US. what a fucking joke it is over there. it's stupid that you need to figure out how much you need for a product/service and then add more money into it. first time i went i was already $25 down just getting to my hotel and that's on top of what i paid for the taxi and hotel. taxi wanted $5 and some random guy who grabbed my bags off me at the hotel wanted $20 for carrying them to and from a lift. hey if i was making $20 for 10 mins "work" i'd probably not be complaining.
tipping is fucked and i hate it. i'm not tipping you unless you really go above and beyond. doing the basics of your job (bringing me food, or driving your car) or carrying a suitcase into a lift is not going above and beyond. it's a joke.
Circumcision reduces the risk of UTIs, balanitis and sexually transmitted infections though. It also looks better.20% tips said in this thread are absolutely insane... There is no way that food carrying is worth anything even close to that.
I hate the tipping culture, never controbuted towards it and basically all i do is leave few coins, so I would not have that heavy wallet. From all that metal.
Also circumsicion outside of very dire medical reason should have been unlawful. Sadly it's a men's issues, thus nobody really cares. It's a genital mutilation plain and simple.
I love getting my foreskin sucked. Zeus gave it to us for a reason. Youāve watched too much American porn.I got circumcised as an adult and I don't get why a guy would want a ugly dick. It looks better, feel better, and I also don't use condoms.
Why do you think it's "barbaric"? Literally has never affected my lifeTips are bullshit but I will always tip until employers decide to pay them properly. I know Iām sort of helping the problem, but I aināt gonna look like a cheap fuck because of it. I always have tips added in my mind before anything anyways so that never changes whatever plans I had.
Circumcision is barbaric and should be illegal. Blows my mind that this is still being done to children in todayās world.
Sex feels much better cut. I regret not having done it sooner.I love getting my foreskin sucked. Zeus gave it to us for a reason. Youāve watched too much American porn.

Depends what science your following. And itās not just skin. There were benefits back when we didnāt have access to running water and soap. Now itās just unnecessary mutilation.There is absolutely nothing barbaric about the removal of a small segment of SKIN.
The American Academy of Paediatrics states the benefits of circumcision are greater than the potential negatives.
I think I'd rather take scientific and medical fact over some random strangers feelings.

Male circumcision decreases penile sensitivity as measured in a large cohort - PubMed
This study confirms the importance of the foreskin for penile sensitivity, overall sexual satisfaction, and penile functioning. Furthermore, this study shows that a higher percentage of circumcised men experience discomfort or pain and unusual sensations as compared with the uncircumcised...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/130/3/585/30235/Circumcision-Policy-StatementMale circumcision is a common procedure, generally performed during the newborn period in the United States. In 2007, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) formed a multidisciplinary task force of AAP members and other stakeholders to evaluate the recent evidence on male circumcision and update the Academyās 1999 recommendations in this area. Evaluation of current evidence indicates that the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks and that the procedureās benefits justify access to this procedure for families who choose it. Specific benefits identified included prevention of urinary tract infections, penile cancer, and transmission of some sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has endorsed this statement.
Depends what you consider major. Weāll just disagree thenhttps://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/130/3/585/30235/Circumcision-Policy-Statement
Can you please stop using the word mutilation. It does not apply here - it is a mere removal of foreskin. There are no major downsides to the removal of foreskin.
Is it not what I consider major but a consensus by two leading medical authorities in America.Depends what you consider major. Weāll just disagree then
Well their is motive to promote the practice. Could just be more medical exploitation or religious bias.Is it not what I consider major but a consensus by two leading medical authorities in America.
Why do you think foreskin exists in the first place if itās so unnecessary? It protects the glans from constant stimulation and exposure, itās a very functional piece of anatomy. Most people like myself have had it surgically removed when we were a new born infant, completely helpless and innocent with no say in the matter. The hospital is happy to add it to the bill, and if they accidentally chop off a bigger part of the penis than intended they use a euphemism to imply its a birth defect. Itās self evidently unnecessary and dare I say mutilation to take a perfect new born child and start cutting away the bits you donāt like. Stop perpetuating this horrific practice please.https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/130/3/585/30235/Circumcision-Policy-Statement

As children and infants we have zero say in many matters. Nonetheless, circumcision is a safe procedure and there is good reason why two leading medical bodies endorse it.Why do you think foreskin exists in the first place if itās so unnecessary?

Can you explain then why humans are born with foreskin? Is it possible human institutions may not know better than billions of years of evolution? We know where the idea of circumcision comes from, itās a religious idea. Itās not as if doctors had this great idea to perform cosmetic surgery on infants because it would improve their lives, itās all backwards reaching for a justification for this weird religious practice with no foundation in science.As children and infants we have zero say in many matters.

There are clear medical benefits to circumcision. It's far more hygienic and it helps avoid infection. It is not a traumatic surgical procedure and does not require a scalpel.Can you explain then why humans are born with foreskin?

Youāre saying that infants donāt have a say in anything, yeah thatās true thatās why they need to be protected from having their genitals mutilated by well meaning idiots. If they want to do it as an adult, thatās their choice. Electing to subject an infant to any other kind of cosmetic surgery would be rightly reviled, this is no different except the wide cultural acceptance. I donāt accept it and I wish people had some basic common sense compassion for the most vulnerable tiny humans among us, maybe donāt perform a traumatic surgical procedure to their genitals in their first few days on the earth.
Your appeal to experts doesnāt answer the question of basic human decency and respecting peopleās own bodies, do you own your sonsā bodies? The fucked up thing is I realized what was done to me and would never do that to an infant, but thereās plenty of people who wonāt admit they were actually violated by the people who were supposed to protect them, then they go on to propagate the same violation on their own son so that their sonās penis looks like their own. I believe itās always done with good intentions and love, but thatās what religion will get you, mutilating your newborn sonās penis out of love.
Sorry for the rant, but this idea is so backwards I canāt keep my mouth shut whenever it creeps up.
This is complete and utter bullshit. Men with foreskin have a healthy amount of bacteria to help with infection, the difference is about 1%.There are clear medical benefits to circumcision. It's far more hygienic and it helps avoid infection. It is not a traumatic surgical procedure and does not require a scalpel.
