Same in every industry. Food industry is especially bad. Hell, I grew up on a farm in the US and we were free labor for our parents, but we wouldn't have survived elsewise.

Correct, and that's the rub. Tipped workers don't want to change the system, because by and large they are far better off with tips than simply a minimum wage (or even prevailing minimum wage for an area). So realistically the only way to end it is to get rid of tipped wages in general, raise the minimum wage, and for people to stop going to places that ask for tips to pay for their workers.

Tipped workers represent 5 million+ workers in the US. While yes, ending tipping is important, probably better ways like raising minimum wages and getting rid of 'tipped wages' would work to end tipping rather than just telling 5 million people they need to find different work.

But if you talk to the majority of tipped workers, they don't want to change the system, which is likely a far larger hurdle compared to diner preferences.

That's what I was thinking, super easy technique in Photoshop to remove moving things from photos.

You could also just take a couple of pictures and if people are moving, do an image stack and it removes the people from the images. Pretty classic technique to get rid of people from busy photos. These days you could also just use AI to remove people from pictures as well.

Except the basic premise is true, and you can't deny it. Those computers booted to a workable interface far quicker than any modern computer. Modern phones shouldn't need the same level of bloat as modern computers, so your Linux argument fails there as well. Feel free to let us know when android instantly boots, or iOS, even though both have to support very few 'different devices and interfaces'.

Apple, Commodore all booted into their OS instantly. Disk drives worked, no BIOS needed. Care to explain what you can do with that? You could easily boot DOS within 40 seconds on a 486. Can't do that on Windows at all these days and we are talking 30 years later.

Except they did instantly boot. I didn't say anything about how long they took to load a program, and if you had a cartridge, it instantly loaded as well. Have you actually used these computers, or just remember slow tape drives? Not that modern ones are fast by any means either, they just move more data and are prohibitively expensive.

You realize most computers in the 80's instantly booted right? Flip power switch and they booted to an internal rom. I'm sorry, are you fairly young?

Mmm, I bet that was delicious!

I mean it's NY Post, it's a rag reporting outlet that uses outrage to get clicks because they don't actually have any journalists. But it seems to work, seeing how many comments even on here it has generated.

I wish that was the case, I am starting to see it sneak in more and more over there as well. It's even more awkward, as they will pre-add a 10-15% tip and then you have to ask for it to be removed. Can't we just pay people a living wage and end tipping all together? Yes, at least in the US a whole lot of restaurants will fail, but they should. Businesses that can't pay people what they deserve need to go the way of the dodo.
