tipflation but awesome:
your serving your tables and every tip you get inflates you (air, water, whatever) depending on tip percentage, 20% being baseline. at the end of your shift you are either waddling around ($) or completely immobile ($$$). everyones happy!

Apps charge massive markups to consumers and pay $2 to couriers, leaving tips to bridge the gap.

It's an engineered culture war designed to protect billion-dollar margins.

The Tipping Trap: Tipflation, Gig Economy Subsidies
The solution isn’t to snap at counter staff, nor is it to demand that tapped-out working-class customers double their tips to offset billion-dollar tech platforms.

Tipflation is a thing.
And it’s causing a backlash.
It’s not about service anymore.

Tipping Was Never About Service. It Was About Power

Tipping was never about rewarding good service; it began as a power move for European aristocrats and was later twisted into a system of racial exploitation in post-Civil War America. This dark history explains the modern chaos of "tipflation"…
Tipping Was Never About Service. It Was About Power
Tipping was never about rewarding good service; it began as a power move for European aristocrats and was later twisted into a system of racial exploitation in post-Civil War America. This dark history explains the modern chaos of "tipflation" and why that digital prompt for a tip feels less like a thank you and more like a demand.

Congress is basically telling you that tipflation is over. “I pay taxes, you don’t” is going to be the dominant mechanic going forward.

Seriously, folks, tipflation is getting out of control.

Long story short, I went to a bachelor party over the weekend, stopped at a club, asked for change, and instead of getting 20 singles, they gave me 10 $2 bills.🤦‍♂️

The challenge I have with the solution of "just do living wages" is I have heard local businesses talk about having wanted to be living wage employers and not being able to keep that going.
We need another mechanism that spans the gap.

Yep, a tricky problem. I move around a lot and apparently don't have many people I'd like to see socially, weekly.

Did the post from a daughter figure, of her (I believe) granddad's Sunday coffee klatch agenda cross your feed? I think "tipflation" was one of the items.
