Maybe it's a holdover from times when many earned substantial cash income. Tips, for example.
- Fnoord 7y agoYeah, well, the tipping culture is ridiculous anyway. Culturally enforced tip to people who earn below minimum wage. If tip is too small, it is still insulting. Just add it to the price already? Same with taxes. Why would you not include these in the cost the customer is going to pay? I find it dishonest.
- mirimir 7y agoI like tips. They're a reward for good service. But maybe that was a bad example. Many people used to work for cash.
- Fnoord 7y agoI like tips when they're optional, yes (we tip in Europe; I tip in Europe). When they're mandatory, it shouldn't be a tip; it should be included in the price. Because else, it is a cheap method to shift the blame.
