I shared this before.
If you were a person of color, having Uber and Airbnb were a game changer. Taxis and hotels were awful from the 80s-2010s.
Taxis were racists and often wouldn't even pick you up. If they did, they often took you on a joyride. Hotels were absolute shit holes. Want to complain about your room? Go pound sand.
Those industries werent good for decades. And the disruption actually made car sharing much more consistent and hotel experiences better.
Taxis sucked for white people too.
The amount of times their credit card machine would just "break" so that you'd be forced to pay in cash and tip much more back then was staggering.
Reeeeee! USSA, please fix bullshit tips. My country is just 4 km away from you and it's really concerning.
OR we can keep one fairly easily attainable, ubiquitous job that pays decently.
I'd rather make sure everyone gets healthcare than take away their tips.
Not sure about taking away tips, but they SHOULD be excluded from counting wage. Ability to legally pay worker zero because tips count towards paid wage should not exist.
100%
If you get them healthcare and $30/hr (by the time we accomplish it), then yeah, take their tips.
