But isn't it only the front house workers and delivery people on this pay mechanism? Those people aren't involved with a pickup order so you are just giving money to the very business that is already underpaying people. I presume some might split that tip amongst the servers and delivery people, but who knows? Even if so, this is really just charity on your part since those people weren't involved with your food. I'm not going to argue with the ocean here - seems your practice is becoming quite normal, I just don't understand it and think it sadly contributes to the underlying issue and keeps businesses more powerful and employees less.

Can you make a recommendation for a tool to migrate "subscriptions etc."? I'm using Connect if that makes a difference.

Also, Lemmy.world has been very unreliable lately anyway. Does Lemmy.ee have a good reliability record?

More of a fart post innit?

It just sounds like a strange American tax that is paid for food. The problem of tipping is getting worse. Why pay extra for the basic level of food preparation with no additional services rendered? In what scenario would you not pay extra? Why has this become like this for food but not flowers for example?

I remain confused about what you are tipping for at all for pickup orders? I assume you are under 30? Does purchasing food just equal tip, period? Is it totally detached from a service element and just a kind of bizarre tax for young Americans?

Curious why a dollar or two? Do you just generally feel that food is underpriced? Is there a scenario where you would just pay the asked price?

The best thing about gig deliveries is dropoff service imo. I never see the driver so cash isn't an option. Uber eats at least makes it easy to adjust tips and I often do adjust if surprisingly early or if they forget a drink.

It's now expected that you tip even if YOU pick it up. I do not understand

Good luck with the logistics of that. Just ban tipping. It's bad for business, bad for individuals (in the long run), and a highly discriminatory practice.

I went whole hog. The sync features are great between computer and phone app (phone app is excellent!) and they actively disable all the terrible shit from chrome. It works with bing/chat gpt too which is nice. They have been very vocal against Google proposed changes and I'm confident they will work around them if at all possible. If not, hell yeah, I'm jumping ship, but I give Vivaldi a lot of credit for what they've done this far. I'm hanging in there for now.

The sea is his friend I assume? At first I thought it was the worm, but I'm certain the worm wouldn't reciprocate any feelings of friendship with this guy.

Don't leave those bottom two laying out at my house. To my spouse a knife is a knife. Pizza knife to slice bananas? Sure, why the hell not. Bread knife to cut cheddar - done. Drives a neurotic like me nuts.

 

So I tried sync to see what all the rage was. Doesn't seem that different really from connect imo. I'm posting this with connect since sync can't seem to do basic functions like post to communities (really?!!) but they made sure to implement big blocks where "sponsored content" will soon be shown. I figured I'd pay a couple bucks because I really can't stand ads, but then saw its $20! I'm now assuming most of you commie bastards (said lovingly) are secretly trust fund brats? How can this be a viable price point for ad removal? Is sync really making that much from ads that this iis the conversion point? For the die hard fans, what are you getting from sync that you are not from connect? I'm not seeing the allure.
