The Marxist thing to do is to tip based on the labor-time, rather than the menu price of the food.
Alternate timeline: He successfully installs a Trotskyist government in the United States, solely on account of the tipping issue
They hated Trotski because he told them the truth.
Why do I have to be Mr. Pink?
Trotsky: Why can’t we pick our own revolutionary names?
Lenin: No way, no way. Tried it once, it doesn’t work. You get four guys all fighting over who’s gonna be Man of Steel.
Trotsky as an “I don’t tip and have an entire ideological justification prepared in advance” is chefs kiss delicious.
Where Trotsky’s food was intentionally not
In another incident, the restaurant staff conspired to serve him undercooked food that left him bedridden for several days with a severe case of diarrhea, giving rise to the name “the trots” as a popular euphemism for said malady [citation needed].
He’s right but the restaurant is not the time or place for it.
Good reminder that even when you have a point make sure you are aiming in the right direction.
Love that he made this a microcosm of his entire belief system, rejecting material reality to grandstand in a way that just so happens to align with whatever benefits him personally.
this is anticommunist. a communist tips well enough that the staff will conspire with you to fuck the owners
Did Trotsky have a thing for the owners?
He also asked the cashier to scan the candy bars individually to prevent electronic interference.
That’s infetterance to you
FUCK I typed it correctly but my stupid phone autocorrected.
Bruh, my old phone used to let me type the words I want, but my new phone (ALSO of the exact same brand and type, but a far newer model) will change correctly typed words into different words that it must’ve assumed I meant; i hate it so much (also it’ll pick and choose when to capitalize a lone ‘i’).
This makes me more anti-Trot than anything else.
Trotsky should have just been left on his armored train going around a loop in Siberia like it’s snowpiercer
Incidentally, a snowpiercer is what killed him.
Nice!
We may not have gotten a snowpiercer, but an ice piercer isn’t too far off.
Snowtrotter
God no wonder he got the
God, he was such an asshole.
you’re not wrong leon, you’re just an asshole
I’m not gonna do any work to figure out if this is real. I think it’s funny and I want it to be real.
