I feel you’re deliberately missing the point of my story because you personally don’t like tipping.
It’s not a surprise it’s *expected* in that industry. It’s common knowledge. I provided evidence of this above that you’ve chosen to ignore.
It is somewhat funny that in a story with a billionaire and someone struggling to make a living wage, to you, the person being treated unfairly is the billionaire.

In general, I think it is unfair to judge anyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status, for abiding by the explicit terms of a business transaction. If neither party is under duress, then the seller needs to state their price upfront before providing a product or service, otherwise, it seems stupid to judge a buyer for agreeing to the price.
- schneems 2y agoIf you were a billionaire you could: - buy the company and pay the guides a living wage - complain to the owner about the tipping policy - complain to the tour guide about the tipping policy - explicitly ask about tipping before engaging in a leisure activity using a service economy - tip anyway but demand the company owner pay back that amount A galaxy of things that aren’t simply “don’t pay and walk away.” I appreciate your position on tipping but don’t thing Mr. Buffer was applying some higher minded philosophy to the situation (unless you have evidence to the contrary).
