ObjectiveZen··on Amazon shortchanged drivers $61.7M in tips
This is such an absurd argument.

One of my first jobs, I worked in a private members-only clubhouse where tipping was prohibited. The service was held to a higher standard than most restaurants open to the public. If you didn’t do your job well, you’d no longer have a job.

We were paid quite a bit higher than minimum wage, so we were fine with it. Most people are fine doing their job well for a decent hourly wage.

If you’re the kind of employee that acts out with poor service towards a customer because you’re upset with the wage your employer pays you, then you need to find a job that isn’t customer facing.

Did you not blindly claim space is infinite? That seems the stranger assumption. If I’m standing in a forest counting all the trees I can see, I’d certainly take into account that there are some trees I can’t see, but I wouldn’t assume there exists an infinite forest of trees.

Perhaps space is infinite, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there is infinite matter.
