tipping goes back 200 years before the American Civil War.

no mention of racism in the wikipedia section for the USA:

everything is racist, everything is sexist, everything is homophobic and you have to point it all out.

The Shake Shack founder also pointed out that tipping is essentially a “multiplier of menu prices.” As menu prices have increased over the past three decades, so have tip amounts, with tip-eligible employees, who usually work the front of restaurants, enjoying an income increase of 300 percent. However, tip-ineligible employees, such as cooks and dishwashers, have seen their incomes increase only 20 percent in the same time period. Meyer said that was ultimately what moved him to eliminate tipping from a number of his restaurants.

Someone's getting fucked here. Food prices are up 300%, but cooks are only getting 20% more? Sounds like his servers are gonna be getting a 280% pay cut.

Typing is racist. Your font is black. Don't even think about bolding.

The story doesn't say that, and the guy couldn't be more wrong about the history of the gratuity. If you want to make a case for its elimination, don't base it on bullshit.

The more these idiots claim racism for crap the more real racism gets shoved under the rug.

That's racist.

This is a joke thread right?

 

[Ackmed]

Well since apparently calling someone a "hard worker" is racist, nothing really surprises me anymore.
