This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Honestly if you think about it. The cost of your meal going up and the cost of tipping are not different in their end result for the consumer.

The employee still gets the short end because people won't always tip. Or even show up.

The owner gets the long (?) end because they don't have to pay their workers a higher wage (very bad if it's a slow day) and the customers who otherwise wouldn't have eaten there if the prices were high will still eat there and not tip.

So it really doesn't effect the consumer at all but it does effect the employee quite a bit for sure.
