Tipping has nothing to do with what makes sense and everything to do with expectations and crappy labour laws. |
Man that is all kinds of messed up. Although I have been on that side of the fence as well when I worked for a moving company. I made more in tips as a cashier in a day than I did working for hauling heavy shit around with random "an inch to the left" requests in a month. Fortunately both jobs actually paid me a living wage regardless so ithe tips were everything a tip should be.
