The post addresses why raising prices isn't a good option for most businesses. I find the argument convincing. Tipping culture _is_ you paying the higher price.

> The only reason I continue to tip is the knowledge that my food will be spat in / worse if I don't.
I know this is anecdotal, but I have worked in many places that serve food/drinks & take tips. I have never seen someone get their food spat in. The places where tips are most expected, restaurants with wait staff + bars, ask for tips at the end of service. All other places don't have the expectation of tips beyond it being nice to get one.
- Der_Einzige 4y agoI'm talking about being spat in the NEXT time you go there. If you're known to not tip, you're at risk of this behavior. It's far worse with things like UberEATS. Your paying the driver to not eat your fries and sip your drink One time, my drink from UberEATS had a line of lipstick on the rim of the straw. I guess I should have tipped more.
- izzydata 4y agoWhy would anyone subject themselves to such ridiculous behavior? If someone spat in my food or ate some of my food I would never use their service again. Any business with any sense should immediately fire such employees or risk losing customers.
- Der_Einzige 4y agoYou can't prove who did it, or even that it was done in the first place.
- izzydata 4y agoThis guy said there was lipstick on his drinks straw. That seems rather definitive.
- lghh 4y agoUberEats drivers become aware of the tip after delivery, not before.
