  • As long as workers in the respective country are paid and are not entirely dependend on tips: no.

    I also don’t get paid extra money just for doing my job that I am already being paid for. It is so weird and asymmetric that tips are a thing in gastronomy and hospitality. As if these were the only low-wage jobs that can sometimes suck a lot.

    If someone is unhappy about their wage, they need to take it up with their boss or organize in a union. It is not my responsibility to pay them.














  • You know how easy it was when we were children? Just talk to someone and ask them whether they’ll want to be your friend.

    Even though as adults we have added multiple layers of awkwardness and social nuances on top, I suppose that in its core it is still as simple as that. Just politely talk to someone and see what happens.

    I always wanted to try that. Glad to see how it worked for you.
