It's more nuanced than that. Do you tip pest control, plumbers, locksmiths, that guy that fixes the spring in your garage opener? As a consumer, I'd rather pay a fixed price and not worry about carrying enough cash to supplement their income.
- ForHackernews 8y agoI would say pest control, plumbers and locksmiths are skilled professional craftsmen who command a high market rate for their labour. I don't consider those "service" jobs. At any rate, yes, the tipping system is stupid, but you're not taking a bold stand against it by stiffing some poor chumps making less than minimum wage.
