Right, nobody is saying “OK, Boomer” to you because you were born in the 50’s, it’s a response to a willfully ignorant and often unsolicited advise from a time that no longer exists. 

As my 15-year-old son says, “‘Baby Boomer’ is a generation; ‘Boomer’ is an attitude.”

Relatable. I’m a 74 yr old creative who builds his computers and codes for bleeding edge audio and visual artworks. The only thing keeping me from being a full member of the 21st century is poverty, not age.

Good advice. In addition, you should probably also be “discreet.”

You mean “it’s always right and proper”. You left out the apostrophe. You mean “eventually learn how” instead of “now”. And “English” should be capitalized. As you are the moron I’m responding to who misspelled the words, I figure you agree it is right and proper for me to correct you. Eventually you’ll learn how to…

This sounds like solid advice if you want people to think you’re an asshole, which clearly you don’t seem to be concerned with.

Wasn’t expecting antivaxxers to delay herd immunity long enough for this to go into production.

Hey, so long as your car still gets 40 rods to the hogshead, you’re probably in the clear.

Yes... that is exactly the expectation. You can see that reflected in the comments from Japan as well, like saying everything should be discounted by 20% if tips are introduced. If they are removed in America, we should just raise prices by 20%.

So better get employees and not pay them? Pay them basically nothing? Hope your customers will give enough tips for the employees that make your "mom & pop" business run can afford to live?

And you realize that if they did start paying salaries and not have tipping anymore, those costs would be transferred to patrons.

Transfer the cost to patrons. I would go out of my way to eat somewhere good where the food cost 20-30% more that was open about paying their employees a living wage and encouraging other restaurants to do the same by eliminating tipping, and I know a lot of other people would too. Fortune favors the bold.

Wow, this is the worst idea ever. I loathe tipping and it’s a cancer on America. I tip well, but i absolutely despise it. I’m trying to divert my business to restaurants that charge more for service included... and dine out less in general, but that’s another day’s rant (American restaurants are owned by sentient pond …

Been in Japan for the past 14 years, and whenever I go back to Canada, I frigging HATE tipping again.

Tipping as in rounding up the numbers, say, “keep the change” when paying with a tenner for something that cost 7.90, is something I’m used to in Europe. But I would not want something like that bullshit “and then you need to mentally add 20% to the bill” like in the US, where instead of a courtesy it’s more or less…

If you’re *supposed* to tip, then it’s a charge in all but name - just one that lets the customer punish servers for not “hustling” enough.

Bulllshit.  Run, Japan, run!  Tipping is one of the stupidest facets of capitalism and needs to die.

Maybe just maybe, if you think you are having a financial incentive problem with your staff which you think could be solved by them getting more money, simply pay them more. If they are asking too much, get new staff. It doesn’t get simpler than that.
