    Lemmy:

    It’s all about class solidarity!

    Also Lemmy: Unless the minimum wage exploited employee is a cashier, in which case fuck’em.

        Fair.

        It still seems like this post is getting far more support, and less pushback, than I would expect given the support I’ve seen for anti-capitalist, anti-work, “class consciousness”, posts.

      Context is king: that cashier sees none of those tips because you used your debit card and the ‘tip’ goes directly into the corporations bank account.

      Loblaws already has a fat enough margin with the gouging, they don’t need any extra boosts from my just-about-broke ass.

        Well, that’s what cash is for, and also that is usually not how it works. I’m sure it is how it works somewhere but by and large (like 99%) the servers/cashiers/drivers get paid out for those tips, sometimes having to split them, sometimes with taxes taken out already, but they do get it.

        Not saying you have to tip, if you feel they don’t deserve any kindness then by all means fuck em, but they do usually get the tips despite what you may think.

      When the cashier has a union and strikes, I won’t cross the line. Otherwise, get over it! Spit in my food if you have too.

      I’m dealing with my own workers rights problems, I can’t take on everyone else’s at the same time.

      Servers have an established expectation of relying on tips to get a living wage, and often earn less than the minimum wage otherwise. The same is not true for cashiers. Maybe they should be paid more, but that should not be done by creating more reliance on tips to subsidize low wages.
