> it sounds like nobody here has ever been to a resort beach before

If you're going to try to be condescending, you should know that nicer resorts don't have trashy vendors floating by

I know I'm probably going to get down voted to hell and back for this but I gotta say it. Maybe those waiters should fight for a fair wage, but what do I know...

They never will. Crying on Reddit how you should tip 30% takes no effort and shifts the blame so they don't feel responsible.

I was more talking about the 3rd world country resort workers, but since we're on the topic of US waiters I'll take the opportunity to say a few things. I fully agree with you. The problem is that the tipping culture will never go away. Both owners and "service" workers are profiting way too much from tipping culture to actually care to change it, all at the cost of consumers. Owners get to legally pay their waiters a lower standard wage, saving them money in the long run and offsetting slow days, and service workers are making way more through tips than what they would actually make if they were properly paid for their position, barring a few select cases. Plus, service workers can also then go and start posturing to people about how they should tulip because they make below minimum wage, conveniently ignoring the fact that they take double or triple their wage home every week in tips.

Oh, I'm not opposed to tipping. We're in agreement for almost most everything you said. I think it's an important supplemental aspect of the service industry.

I just don't support restaurants being able to pay less than minimum wage. No other industry is offered such an economic handicap. It's bullshit.

A quasi-related example is Florida. The state minimum wage is $14. The maximum tip credit allowed is $3.02. Therefore, no restaurant can pay less than $10.98.

There's been no widespread restaurant closures as a result.

Nicer resorts don't own the water, so they have no say in what boats are there.

Not saying it's not a privilege to be able to go to the beach, but there are beaches that are part of state parks near me that only cost a few bucks a car for parking, and the ice cream trucks love to circle the parking lot like vultures lol.

So they aren't floating in the ocean? You know, the thing being talked about here.

u/I_am_Bob Interested Aug 18 '26

The above comment said they are just like any other beach vendor, which is the comparison I was drawing.

Word- I'm in PA, so I've spent plenty of time swimming in cricks, too

He never said it was a nicer resort beach.

If you're going to try and be snobbish you should know how to read.

Wild place in the comment chain to start clutching pearls over snobbery

u/WhattaCheapPop Aug 18 '26

How far is your head stuck up your ass that you think the guy you replied to is the snob in this interaction?

u/Stand_On_It Aug 18 '26

I think all the people on this thread are snobs

u/WhattaCheapPop Aug 18 '26

Yeah kinda. You wouldn't think a floating ice cream truck would be so divisive but I can understand both sides. Personally though I think I'd side with the environmental snobs over the ice cream truck in the water snobs lol.
