Minimum wages and universal basic income

[danbrotherston]

When paying cash I usually round up to the next denomination of whatever bills I'm using (or whatever makes it so I don't need change brought back). 

And yes, crap service = crap tip.  Most people in the hospitality business learn this in quick time if that's the path they choose.

Oh, another fun result is that studies find that for servers the tip is not correlated with the level of service. It's things like did the server smile at the customer?

What gets me is that people really wanted to expand tipping to Uber. wtf?!

Uber wants to expand it, because it makes it easier for them to pay people less.

People want to expand it because some people, and I don't think this is uncommon at all--let me be blunt, I see this in this thread right now--want to feel in control of other people.
