    “Tipping the landlord” Some landlord/employer posted on Twitter how none of their employees/tenants are grateful for the nice things the capitalist provides them with. They said that they’d like to get tipped occasionally. It might have been a shitpost, but it blew up. Now, ‘tipping the landlord’ is an internet gag line. No one in real life tips their land lord.

        In addition to that. It’s probably mocking these places where it asks if you want to leave a tip when you didn’t see a single employee your entire visit. Or counter service/fast food etc.

      I always thought that it mocks the idea of giving tip for everything everywhere to highlight that tipping is not a very good practice

        Always look at it from the other side. If you’re making minimum wage, every extra dollar counts.
