    Ayup. I live in a non-tipping country, but in the US, well…

    • the farmer doesn’t deal with the customer
    • the logistics company doesn’t deal with the customer
    • the inspector doesn’t deal with the customer
    • the manager doesn’t deal with the customer
    • the cook doesn’t deal with the customer

    It’s an arsehole tax

      If you don’t think restaurant managers deal with customers than all I can say is I’m so happy for you for never having to work in that industry lol. All of the other people you named also have customers they deal with except maybe the cook. Logistics company is the farmer’s customer, restaurant owner is logistics company’s customer, etc. All of said customers can also be arseholes.

        Managers mostly placate and throw their waitstaff under the bus.

        And no, logistics companies do not deal with the restaurant patron, the fuck are you on

          I didn’t say restaurant patron. Usually there is an employee or even the owner (what i said in my previous reply - not patron) of a restaurant that has to order and receive ingredients and other equipment to run the business. Suppliers also have employees that negotiate and coordinate deliveries with these restaurant staff. In this specific situation, the restaurant managers/owners are the customers of their suppliers.
