Oh America, come on:

  • end (and stop exporting) that vicious tipping culture of yours. Just pay decent wages to people in customer service.

  • change the design of yours bills, make them easily recognizable, with different colors and sizes like normal curencies.

  • take religion out of the money.

  • and since I'm at it, end gun culture and disarm your people. Also SUVs, end that too. And introduce controlled prices in health services, regulate, regulate, regulate, till it becomes a functional system affordable by everyone.

Thanks. I would love you so much more.

Congrats, you managed to alienate 85% of political financial backers.

It's similar enough to a real bill for the distributors to be charged under 18 U.S. Code § 475 (Imitating US notes for advertising).

[–] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I believe if you were to take this to your bank and tell them that someone tipped you this and you just want to check it it's counterfeit or real, the FBI would suddenly be involved

[–] teft@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago

US Secret Service is in charge of counterfeiting investigations, not the FBI.

Have they ever charged those churchs who hand out chic tracks on fake folded 50s?

In other parts of the world, there is no tipping. This is because it's expected for the employer to provide the employee a living wage, not statistics and an underground economy.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (13 children)

It's a terrible practice and ultimately hurts workers. It should be banned simply because it promotes worker tax evasion, which is not what I really care about here, but it's a good reason to make it illegal. Making it illegal is only way to stop it in the US. It's absolutely rampant. You pick up donuts At the dunkin store and they ask for a tip now.

Funny thing is that this guy hates tipping, but they’re going to vote for the candidate and political party that want to keep service salaries so low that tipping is required to live.

If this person really wanted to kill tipping, they should vote for the other party. Those are the folks seriously talking about solutions that would make it unnecessary.

[–] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you try to explain this they'll just go on a unhinged tangent about how Trump single handedly saved the service industry. That, or something equally stupid.

Assholes like this love tipping culture. It gives them a feeling of power over people they see as lesser.

They removed god and placed Trump. Are evangelicals fine with that?

The bible has a lot to say about false idols and the jealousy of God.

Fuck tipping culture. Rather than begging tips from customers, DEMAND it from your employer.

They're too dumb to realize that it will have the opposite effect. It won't work like "omg i got an ad for [CANDIDATE X] instead of $20, gonna vote for him!!"

Been a thing for a long time actually. Since before his cult. Religious fucks leave fake bills with Bible versus on them.

[–] jecxjo@midwest.social 27 points 1 year ago

Worked in a resort area and some big church group showed up and tipped using money like that. Like a party of 20 people type group.

Everyone started calling around to establishment saying if you get a group of 20 and they all look like Jesus folk tell them to leave.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

At first I didn't see any actual evidence that this was connected to Trump, so I figured everyone here was just assuming it was Trump based on how shitty this practice is. I definitely assumed the same.

(If you zoom wayyyy in his name is there, though.)

[–] LillianVS@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Wow, this is worthless lol Not tipping is better than this, at least not tipping can't disappoint you more than this can

[–] whygohomie@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Cult people using the cult as an excuse/justification to behave like selfish assholes. A tale as old as time.

When are the rest of us going to get sick of this petulant bullshit?

Would this be considered counterfeit money and thus illegal?

To be real clear, the only thing this does is screw over the hourly employees trying to survive on tips.

It does absolutely nothing to the business, they don't care, at all. It doesn't impact them in the slightest.

Yes, by law, if someone makes so little in tips that they would be getting paid below minimum wage the business is supposed to make up the difference.

Assuming that happens for the entire shift.

In practice, by all accounts... That pretty much never happens.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds like a great way to make an angry hourly employee into an ardent anti trump voter.

Yeah but by continuing to support the tipping system, nothing will ever change. The best thing to do is stop giving business to restaurants with a tipping culture.

If enough people refuse to eat at these places, eventually employees will start quitting and restaurant owners will have to start paying their workers a decent wage.

There are plenty of restaurants with delicious high-quality food and no tips accepted. You don't have to be waited on by a server.

In practice, if you report so little tips you cant hit minimum wage management will assume you are (a) lying to the IRS, (b) providing awful service, or (c) business is too slow to justify you being there. Any way you look at you probably wont work there much longer.

I didn't really get why someone would make a bill with just 2024 on it. Like, do they just really want to make sure that you know about the year 2024?

Then I saw the small print.

Yes, restaurants should be required to pay a proper wage.
