I agree.
I usually think of that as documentation, not comments.
But even so, the code should say what it does, with a good name. The documentation adds details.

So $10 plus a $3 tip is “paying extra” to you people
Yes. The price is 10. I pay 13. That’s 3 more. Simple math.
you’re gonna happily pay the same shitty owner $15 "and no more
That’s a straw man argument. I probably won’t support a shitty owner at any price.
What I want is to know the price up front, without checking for loopholes, adding tips and whatever. I don’t care how simple the math is, or how much I love math or how good I am at calculating in my head, or how big the impact is to my personal economy.
I see a price, I either pay it or I don’t. There’s a reason that anything else is literally illegal where I live.
You’re welcome to have your opinion, this is mine.
Again, I don’t mind tipping if I actually get extra. I’m a big tipper, if I get more than I’m paying for.
just licking some capitalist footwear under the guise of a kind of false consumerism
Wow, that’s American level defense of capitalism. Where I’m from, we pay a lot more attention to consumer rights and employee rights.
Fair enough, they can both be shit. I just don’t see how it’s my responsibility as a customer, to fix the problem that the resto is underpaying its staff.
The way I usually do my part to help workers who are not treated well, is to boycott the employer. If tipping is seen as a solution to that problem, I’d call that enabling. Tipping is the only reason restos can get away with grossly underpaying their staff. I don’t want to support that.
Are you seriously saying that the customer who pays full price and no more is “a piece of shit”, and not management who chooses to underpay the staff?
I’m not having any of that. I’d rather just not eat out. Enjoy no tip AND one less customer.
I’ll pay extra when I get extra. I paid over 150% yesterday. I’ve given big tips for free services. People sometimes give my cash tip back assuming I accidentally gave them 10x my intention. But not when it’s a simple transaction when I get what I ordered and I’m paying the advertised price.
I spent a few minutes researching this, and I still have no idea what the problem is. Or any motivation to keep researching.
Honestly, I might be part of the problem. I’m a white guy, and there are basically no black people in my life. I don’t see any in the streets, at work, at home or here. Especially here, I have no idea who anyone is.
Basically, I have no reason to get involved. However, I don’t want to be part of the problem. So if you spoonfeed me information I can use to make life better for “the blackness” (I’m very confused about the terminology), I will happily read it and try to remember it.
So don’t just tell me the solution, none of the TLDR makes any sense to me. Spend a few words on the problem.
As far as I can tell, there’s basically two kinds of people:
1 - People who just don’t care about other people in the Fediverse. They will not read any of this, there’s nothing you can write here that will change anything for them.
2 - People who are trying to be nice, but don’t always succeed. They will listen to advice, but nothing will change by telling them to be nice, be less racist, or to listen to people even if they are black. That’s what they are already trying to do.
