Me? When did I specifically say that? Me specifically? Maybe check who you’re replying to :)

You said it, not me

Please learn how to have an actual conversation without the pity party

Let’s never talk about changing anything because it’s not the current climate then, yeah? There’s no point in discussing change at all, clearly, since it doesn’t apply to specifically exactly what’s currently going on. Truly you are a paragon of our time

You’re either intentionally being obtuse or are just plain stupid. Customers SHOULDNT be in a position of being forced to tip or be ashamed for normal acitivitues.

This also ignores that the system isn’t horizontally scalable at all, so scaling up gets even more expensive
