[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know why I tip so well?  Because every time I see a minimally paid service worker in this area I wonder where they live, how far they had to commute,  and how they can afford nutritious food for themselves, much less a family if that is their situation.  I have so much .... makes me feel good.  The landlords soaking people for every dime make me sick, not the restaurants pushing for tips for their employees.[/quote]

Maybe you should think about how in Europe, where there is no tipping culture, these same people would have a short commute, better home, better schools for their children, and free health care.  Our culture keeps people in their place.  [b]We have a society with very little social mobility. [/b] These people don’t need your pity; they need better opportunities to begin with starting from when they are children.[/quote]

We have a society with relatively high social mobility compared to most other developed countries, but we have a lot of inequality.  We also have a social safety net that phases out too quickly--so benefits disproportionately go to the very poor, but are quickly lost for the working poor/lower middle class. [/quote]

We think we have high mobility, but we're wrong
