This isn’t an unpopular opinion, a lot of people feel stressed during the holidays. However, to be fair, what are the stores and ad companies supposed to do? Of course they’re going to portray the holidays as a happy time, it would be strange and against their objective if they didn’t. Heads would roll at Ye Olde Major Ad Corp!
The first comment on that article when I read it, the guy says he will not tip his delivery driver if there’s a delivery fee. I can’t believe that after all these years, people still think that a driver is going to see one cent of a delivery fee. I remember Pizza Hut implementing a $1 or $2 delivery fee back in the late 90s, and our tips took a big hit. Back then, I figured that was just a learning curve, and eventually soon people would understand that it is not part of a driver’s compensation, but I guess here we are, 25+ years later.
Please don’t punish workers for a corporation’s greed. A delivery fee is not a tip.
Every moron who doesn’t tip thinks this way. Nobody wants to tip, and hopefully someday it will be universally abolished, but until then, this is the way it is and people are just trying to supplement their minimum wages to make a livable income. So just tip them appropriately for the work they do for you already, you moron. I guarantee that as a non-tipper, you are on many service workers’ shit lists, so I guess if you’re not getting good service, it’s your own fault.
Why wouldn’t you do a Brazilian at home? I used to do it myself for years, it’s totally doable

The pandemic definitely pushed companies into finally adopting it, but believe me, it was not a new concept. I remember reading an article 20 yrs ago about Best Buy adopting it, for example, and how it increased productivity and morale, etc. Since then, it’s been catching on, I’ve had plenty of friends that have worked from home since long before the pandemic, it’s just that a lot of companies were still afraid of giving their employees that much autonomy.
New idea? I remember it being a new idea in the early 2000s
Don’t forget a whetstone for that knife!
This is probably the best, most concise comment
