It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS. I just found this in that thread:

https://www.npr.org/2022/12/14/1142270603/amazon-alexa-thank-my-driver-tipping-promotion-lawsuit

THEY SOLD ME ON THIS TWO YEARS AFTER THIS ARTICLE CAME OUT AND I WENT AROUND LIKE AN ASSHOLE GETTING PEOPLE TO DO THIS

I was literally #1 in the company with my response rate and I got fucking 20 bucks from that promotion. I'm STILL mad about it. I should have gotten like 500 dollars

I always leave out a little cooler with cold drinks and some loose cash when I order shit in the summer

Having been a mail delivery person myself, shit's hard

Yeah, I try to catch the delivery and offer a bottle of cold water. Is it weird to ask delivery people for their cashapp info?

Here's a tip, dodge this .45 because I've been sitting in my garage all day waiting for someone to walk by so I can castle doctrine on them because a service worker got my burger wrong yesterday hst-gun

So many people shout "thank you!" from their front door at me

Here's a tip for you, get right with Jesus because the rapture is coming soon, gobbless.

Don't smoke in bed.

Is this a tip to the delivery driver, or is it a tip to the seller? Because if the comment about this using the language options to add a tip, it seems like an extra charge the seller imposes on the customer without money going to the driver.

It does seem to be that way, but the discussion itself is a lot along the lines of "omg I can't believe people just want MORE money" as if for nothing

How much of digital tipping goes to employees vs how much gets squandered. I'd imagine a very large portion never goes to the employees themselves.
