If you don't think restaurant managers deal with customers than all I can say is I'm so happy for you for never having to work in that industry lol. All of the other people you named also have customers they deal with except maybe the cook. Logistics company is the farmer's customer, restaurant owner is logistics company's customer, etc. All of said customers can also be arseholes.

Managers mostly placate and throw their waitstaff under the bus.

And no, logistics companies do not deal with the restaurant patron, the fuck are you on

I didn't say restaurant patron. Usually there is an employee or even the owner (what i said in my previous reply - not patron) of a restaurant that has to order and receive ingredients and other equipment to run the business. Suppliers also have employees that negotiate and coordinate deliveries with these restaurant staff. In this specific situation, the restaurant managers/owners are the customers of their suppliers.

So you're saying the restaurant owners should give the suppliers a good tip if they're polite and efficient? Nuance is hard

Not saying they should more than I'm asking why they shouldn't

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Because being polite and accommodating to people who are being shitty to you isn't important for those jobs.

And i wasn't talking about logistics customers. I was very clearly talking about the restaurant customer, whom the waiter deals with.

So why should only restaurant customers tip? Why should only waiters expect tips?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Jesus christ dude, let it go.

You know why tipping is a thing in the US, and as I clearly stated, I don't live in a tipping country
