    People give tips to other who do nothing outside their job, oh you made the coffee i ordered and hand it to me sure have $5, thanks for handing the pizza i ordered over the counter have $10, payed for my groceries that i picked out myself and paid via self checkout sure have a 25% tip.

    Why not tip someone who ensures where you live, where you children live, where all your precious posesstions are kept is safe, secure, and supported? Seems like you don’t actually care about the money, just want to have someone to shit on and feel mighter than them… (Kidding im a landlord and id call someone nuts for tipping me)

    Edit: Apparently everyone is missing the massive /S

      Rent seeking is not the same as providing value. Buying a house to rent it out is like buying concert tickets to sell them at a high price when the concert is sold out.

      Because those people provided something to you. They made or delivered the food. All a landlord does is gatekeep a necessity that people can’t live without. He didn’t build it. The only thing he did to you is prevent you getting housing. That is why they are leeches.
