Be honest; No one that would travel from Europe to the World Cup cares one bit about social issues.
Of course not, the tip is just viewed as an additional surcharge and they don't want to spend that money. The social issue is very likely, if at all, just an after-the-fact rationalisation/justification.
Also, all the bars and restaurants started tacking a 20% "tip" straight into the bill instead of making it voluntary.
I wouldn't blame them after these reports. Need to hold rude Europeans accountable.
Or you know. Fuck tipping culture instead of paying your employees. The bar is charging $8 for 80 cents of bottom shelf booze in a mixed drink and right now they're swamped in business with people racking up hundreds in drinks and bar food. You don't think they could afford to bonus out their staff?
Fuck you.
You dont have to come here shit bag. Nice job proving magats right about how awful forgeners are.
I'm not saying they couldn't, I'm saying they won't. You're happy to patronize those locations and give the owners $8/drink but not pay the staff.
Fuck you, friend.
Not a single one?
Can't support corrupt organizations and regimes and also claim to be socially aware. Mutual exclusivity.
No ethical consumption under capitalism. Can believe workers should be paid by the business owner and not by patron tips and believe that going to a world cup match to watch your country play your favorite sport is no worse than shopping at a big box store or paying your landlord.
It's a big world mate and I can't always be aware of every shitty thing going on at all times. Not only for logistical reasons, but also for mental health reasons.
I didn't state that you must know everything, but you can't claim to be aware of social issues if you're willfully ignorant.
I don't think the definitive no one is true. While a lot of them couldn't care less. I'm sure there are some that do.
