Lots of people in various industries do rely on or greatly appreciate tips to make ends meet especially during COVID era.
Just saying that maybe a more nuanced view on tipping is needed instead of a blanket "fuck tipping" bc other countries don't do it.

If these people rely on tips to survive, they should do a good job so they earn the tips. Do you expect your boss to continue to pay you if you don't do a good job, simply because you have a health bill? You're confusing job income with charity income. People who need help with medical expenses go to charity, not expect employers to pay them more to cover them.
It would be completely psychotic for my wife to go to her employer and be like "I'm having a baby, so I need a raise" or "My husband caught the flu, so I need a raise to make up for his lost income until he gets better" or "A hurricane hit our home, I need a raise |
I'm not confusing anything. I said a nuanced view of tipping is probably best depending on the situation. I'll follow that up by saying, oftentimes tipping may not be appropriate, but it might very well be.
For example, if I clogged my toilet with a massive piece of shit, and the plumber came over at 2 am and charged me a nominal fee to unclog said toilet, I might be inclined to tip him/her for the shit clearing service.
Another example, I think you should send me a tip for reading your myopic response to my statement.
