    That’s insane. It’s literally the job. Imagine applying this logic to any service industry job.

      Yeah, I know. As is said, I want tipping culture to end. We’ve created a system where the customer pays for servers salary by the job instead of the restaurant paying by the hour. I’m saying that running a $200 order is more work than running a $20 order, just like bagging $200 worth of groceries is more work than bagging $20 worth of groceries. A percentage tip does roughly reflect the amount of work being done, but acknowledging that isn’t an endorsement of tipping culture.

      It exists in the service industry. Hence the term ‘White Glove’.

      You can get a mover who will throw your shit into the truck from the stairs for 1/10 the price of the guy who individually wraps every single spoon you own.
