You can't just use minimum wage... For example I live in Iowa where the minimum wage is $7.25 but I have yet to find a single job listing today that is that low
Yes but that doesn't mean that every job is paying a living wage. Yes most places may be going above the state or federal minimum wage but that doesn't mean they're paying a living wage either, just slightly better than the minimum
If they work at least 60 hours a week they could live somewhat comfortably & get by with basic necessities like rent, food, transportation, clothes, bathroom supplies, etc.
40 hours a week wouldn’t be enough for all the basic necessities though
These are all assuming they work without tips
A living wage is a wage that is not just scraping by, a living wage means you can afford the majority of expenses life throws at you. Hopefully this makes sense.
I don't tip anyone ever unless it's exceptional service. I'm from England so it isn't common here to tip as custom. I just went out for a meal with my brother and the bill came to £45.10 so we both paid £22.55 which obviously hit the total on the dot.
When it’s fast food I don’t but there isn’t an option anyway. If I go to a coffee place like Starbucks then I tip if I’m feeling generous but not usually. Tips are usually for sit down restaurants or if I’m receiving a service like for my car, home, salon visits, etc.
I don’t think so.. just asking because I went through a drive thru for a quick breakfast and they had this little thing they stick out the window to pay and it had a tip option so I was curious
Ah I see
That's probably the default restaurant iPad or whatever it was system
So it's designed to be used in a restaurant with waiters and they're just too lazy to change it
Depends on the place. Fast food drive thru no I do not tip but if I eat inside at a fast food place and it’s an option I’ll typically leave one or two dollars just to show appreciation.
I’m a teen who’s worked at places like it and know how little they make and I know it means a lot so I typically just give a little back. Restaurants where I’m being served I aim for 20% tip
Live in a country where you don't tip so never
I envy you so much. Tips in general are the absolute worst.
Same, although some people do tip out of being nice.
No because my country actually pays a living wage.
The difference here is Drive-Thru workers have a higher wage than servers do. Servers rely on tips, drive-thru workers do not.
USA does too
Bull fuckin shit it does😂
Depends on the state but yes. But it's hard to really define "living wage" numerically. Wages vary across the country but so does the cost of living.
Yes but the federal minimum wage and most state minimum wages compared to that states cost of living don't provide enough to be called a living wage

i knew i was gonna get disliked heavily 🤣
Doesn't most of a waiters money come from tips?
Yes
So would a waiter for example make a living wage without tips?
If they work at least 60 hours a week they could live somewhat comfortably & get by with basic necessities like rent, food, transportation, clothes, bathroom supplies, etc. 40 hours a week wouldn’t be enough for all the basic necessities though These are all assuming they work without tips
40 hours a week should be enough work for a liveable wage though
I agree
Great :-)
Bro what state do you live in? I gotta move there
Montreal
Oh I really thought some state in America actually paid us well ;-;
$7 an hour? Sure mate.
No it’s $13 an hour in my state at least
That still doesn't sound very livable.
It is I mean you’ll barely scrap by but it’s enough
A living wage is a wage that is not just scraping by, a living wage means you can afford the majority of expenses life throws at you. Hopefully this makes sense.
I mean technically it’s livable if you can afford an apartment with roommates and food and maybe a car or a bus pass
I don't know, but that is subsistence, not thriving or prosperity. Thats the point.
...and other hilarious jokes you can tell yourself.
hahahahahaha
I don't tip anywhere since we actually pay people in my country
Calm down echo chamber! You’ve already said this 20 times in this comment section alone!
Pssst! They do in USA too, Americans have only one pay demand- MORE!
No, same as i won't tip cashiers at the supermarket or my doctor.
That's what I said about cows and grandmothers yet here we are
We dont tip in norway
I never tip

Haven't tipped anyone ever
If they have a tip jar, I use cash and recieve coin change. They get the coins, I hate coins.
Never been in a drive-thru.. Nor will i ever.. Also in the country im from and living in we pay workers.
I don't use drive through, so...
Same
A lot of them don’t accept tips, you also don’t get a receipt copy for them with the tip option. It sucks, I’ve tried it
Sonic is the only fast food place where I tip. Because they physically bring it to your car. Sometimes on roller skates.
I never tip anyone, luckily it's not really a thing in my country.

tipping is only popular in us, considering cashiers etc actually get paid in other countries
I try to not be a sucker.
First, no tipping option here. Second, I hate the tipping industry.
Do you tip the cops after they shoot your dog?
You good bro?
..Something you wanna talk about?
[удалено]
What i meant is: tipping "culture" is absurd. (also ACAB)
What are the current results? I don’t drive and there’s no “Results” option
127 yes. 2.0k no
Oh wow thanks. I didn’t think there would be such a difference
I did, I live in the US where tipping is sometimes expected, but I've never been in a drive thru that asks you to tip and if I did I wouldn't tip.
Oh okay I don’t live in the US so that’s interesting to know. Thanks!

No, I only tip waiters and landlords.
Wait are you meant to

Ah I see That's probably the default restaurant iPad or whatever it was system So it's designed to be used in a restaurant with waiters and they're just too lazy to change it
I dont tip anyone
I don’t normally tip drive thru, but there have been a few occasions where they absolutely made my day so I’ve tipped $5-$20 depending on what I got.
No because tipping is dumb.
I don’t go to fast food restaurants.
I think it's illegal to take tips on drive thrus in my state so no
Probably should have segregated between countries where tipping is a thing and countries where it simply isn't a thing.
I feed from scratch (buying processed food is disgustingly bad🤢)
What is disgustingly bad about processed food?
I taught my body not overprocessed food and i can get a little sick if i have to try it
So nothing is really bad about it, you just aren't used to it?
I mean overprocessed food is objectively worse than whole food
i know that not tipping only screws over the workers and not the business. no one gets paid enough
Depends on the place. Fast food drive thru no I do not tip but if I eat inside at a fast food place and it’s an option I’ll typically leave one or two dollars just to show appreciation.
