such-justice-wow:alaija: such-justice-wow:ruaken-risen-in-christ:capitalism-and-analytics: I thought this was going to be a bit of satire (from OP, not the coffee shop), but no, it’s completely serious…Hilarious, but serious… Coffee shop: “we’re raising our prices and 100% of the increase is going to the workers, zero to the owners.”R/antiwork: “OMG, greedy capitalists!” It is kind of weird that they’re doing this in the form of a charge after the bill thoughLike it’s still a tip even if you don’t call it one You could just raise the prices and not add a sneaky charge at the end If you raise the prices people wouldn’t have the option of refusing to pay the 14% not-a-service-charge.If they raised their prices it would also just be pooled into the rest of the companies profits and it’s doubtful the staff would get a pay rise. You should be paying your employees fairly either way, this is just forcing the responsibilty directly on the customer. If its not a tip then why can I refuse it? Sorry no admin for you today?? It makes no sense I’m guessing it is to avoid laws over how tips are handled. Like the manager being excluded from tips or it only going to particular staff.We don’t even tip here so the entire concept is weird to me, but this isn’t some great evil of capitalism as r/antiwork wants to present it as. -- source link
