I… said I was dining out far less? I literally am one of the ones deciding to stay home and cook my own food and make my own drinks. Was the spoiler alert saying you never worked a barista job? I haven’t either, but I did work in other positions growing up which relied on tipping. Still the growth in tipping culture is out of hand. Going to a bar now I buy one draft beer and get a screen flipped over with tip options of 22%, 25%, and 30%… I’m also confused how me tipping less would enable someone to short my companies stock when nowhere on my person does it say where I work.

>I… said I was dining out far less? I literally am one of the ones deciding to stay home and cook my own food and make my own drinks. Sorry, that was too intense. I've never had that kind of economic security, so I reacted harshly since I've had some really rude people interact with me on and offline recently. I was off the mark in the tone of my comment, and I apologize for that. (On my end, I keep having shit happen like I'm too depressed to cook because of a death or three, and someone picks that moment to abuse me for something like ordering with grubhub with a generous tip because I can't handle talking on the phone that day. Stuff like that makes you think your money is worthless, since the things you want to purchase will be forever beyond your reach even if you did become a billionaire rather than someone making ~70k in a low cost of living city.) >I’m also confused how me tipping less would enable someone to short my companies stock when nowhere on my person does it say where I work. I'm saying the barista might notice where you work and trade based on that information -- or give it to a friend who has enough $ to trade with. Hope that helps. (I know of at least one company that went completely "kaput" because of such a thing, paired with the fact the service worker knew it's unusual for folks to have a meeting outside the company cafeteria/campus/arcology
