My wife ridicules me because when we went out to eat, before a multitude of children , I would often say “nobody ever tipped me as a meat clerk when I was working in 45 degrees elbows deep throwing away and scraping rotting meat from the shelves and gutters and then serving ‘fresh shrimp ‘ and organic grass fed filet mignon” when I felt expected to tip 20% for an already over priced meal. As my first boss, meat clerk young lady, told me “shit rolls down hill.” More powerful people tend to get shitted on less. It was a motivation to move up. But I still think it’s shitting on people to expect or accept constant recording of everything mundane thing while awaiting the exceptional [screw up]. Pilots are more powerful than Amazon warehouse workers but recording every breath, every whisper, ever fart is undoubtedly shit in a warehouse or a cockpit or an operating room. Then again, the only way I could accept it is if everyone is recorded all the time and it was all public or at least FOIA able for many people. Especially the government and universities and Wall Street other wise it’s just a way to control and hang things over peoples heads. As to the tipping grumpiness I grew up partly in the 3rd world where tipping 50 cents was a great tip and I’m cheap and didn’t/don’t make tech bro money. I found the ultimate solution was to just not eat out so much except for truly special occasions. I’m sure there’s a lesson in there too somewhere. |
