Or maybe Amazon could just pay its drivers a reasonable wage and not try to trick customers into doing it for them.

Before anyone jumps on me: drivers absolutely deserve gratitude and more money. But it should come from their bosses, not customers. Tipping culture makes it easy for extremely wealthy, profitable employers to shift the costs of labor onto customers who are already stretched thin. As a society, it would be better if we tipped less and paid higher wages instead.

EDIT: I read the article too quickly. Amazon, not the customer, pays the $5. Good for them. Tipping culture is still bad, though.

Yeah, and I mean I get that I’m probably coming across as judgy with that comment, maybe I am, but it just really irks me that I’ve heard no one complaining about the meme for years and then an elite outsider shows up to coach the city on how offensive it was even though 99% of the population likely couldn’t care less about it.

Yeah I saw it on Twitter, completely stupid that it had to be taken down. Its a popular meme and I haven’t heard a peep out of anyone about it for literally years until now. I suppose the implication is that it’s wrong for the boyfriend to be interested in the other girl because it’s cheating, but I doubt most of the people getting offended over it would feel the same way if the genders were reversed.

No, that's just called the natural consequences of behaving like a twat. If you want to behave like a shitty child then expect to be treated likewise. That's how social interactions work. You don't get to be an asshole running your mouth without social consequences. You know the term... consequences for your actions. I'm sure a boomer can understand that.

Nowadays could have been anything...maybe the potholes got together and laid the guilt trip for talking about them and the city had to backtrack on reality because they were insulted.....ya know how it goes....can't be honest without offending someone and having to "apologize" for speaking the truth. #merica

We went to home goods to find some fun stuff. My fiancé found a tea pot that looks like an elephant. I went to Trader Joe’s and got their 5 different types of pasta gift set with some fancy olive oil
