      I’m not sure you understand the parent comment. I didn’t realize how terrible until I hailed a cab, noticed someone who was actually also hailing but must have been doing so before me, so I deferred and offered the cab I hailed to him. The cabby noticed the person was black and just booked it. The person was resigned and indicated this was not uncommon.

      The amount of times their credit card machine would just “break” so that you’d be forced to pay in cash and tip much more back then was staggering.

        Reeeeee! USSA, please fix bullshit tips. My country is just 4 km away from you and it’s really concerning.

          OR we can keep one fairly easily attainable, ubiquitous job that pays decently.

          I’d rather make sure everyone gets healthcare than take away their tips.

            Not sure about taking away tips, but they SHOULD be excluded from counting wage. Ability to legally pay worker zero because tips count towards paid wage should not exist.

            If you get them healthcare and $30/hr (by the time we accomplish it), then yeah, take their tips.

            Countries where the population is predominantly white and minorities are other also white ethnicities.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_Europe?oldformat=true#European_ethnic_groups_by_sovereign_state

            Which of these countries is not white? They’re all whiter than the USA. Ask anyone here and they’ll also say taxis suck lol.
