Die Wahrheit über Google

It is NOT solidarity with the workers if I allow myself to be exploited by the employer in addition to them.

If a place is overpriced, I don’t buy there. If there is an option to pay more voluntarily to express satisfaction, I regularly do so with an amount of tip that seems appropriate to me in that moment.

However, it is not my job to pay the workers or to champion their rights while I am on vacation; that is nonsense. Either their salary is included in the price of the product or not, that’s definitely NOT my business to care for that because I don’t run their business. I’m a customer and guest and I pay for all the service. But the price has to be quoted in advance, I don’t accept hidden costs.

And if I get the answer then that it’s customary here to pay 20% more than the amount on the bill, then I say “no thanks” and leave - because I have to assume then that wages aren’t at a decent, humane level? That doesn’t work for me, would be rude.

I just want to go out for a meal. When I’m a guest somewhere in a foreign country, it’s certainly not my place to get involved in such sensitive issues. I expect the local residents and politicians to handle those matters. As a guest, I wouldn’t interfere in political issues like that; it would be completely inappropriate.

With any reputable business where I make a purchase, I expect to be quoted a reasonable price with no hidden extra costs. This applies to museums and shops, as well as restaurants. I don’t want to spend my vacation conducting extensive investigations and research every time I spend money to see if the company pays its employees fairly.

And as a tourist, how do I find out if a place pays their workers? Talk to the manager before I enter a restaurant?

Ich kaufe alle Lebensmittel zu Fuß oder per Rad ein, ich habe Restaurants, Kneipen, Konzerte, Kino und Theater in Laufweite. Zur Arbeit fahre ich 4 km mit dem Rad. Ein Auto wird nur 2-3x pro Monat benötigt, einige Reisen pro Jahr wenn möglich auch mit der Bahn. Diese Flexibilität und Vielfalt hätte ich mit einem Wohnort aufm Land nicht so leicht. Stadtleben muss zugleich nicht bedeuten, entfernt von der Natur zu leben. In Garten und aufm Balkon pflege ich Pflanzen und baue Gemüse an. Und raus aus der Stadt geht’s eben auch mal schnell. Ich habe zwar mal mit einem Haus außerhalb der Stadt geliebäugelt, aber dann gemerkt, dass dann eben vieles umständlicher und weiter weg für mich wäre.

Ich lebe in einer Stadt, die mit dem Fahrrad erreichbar auch einen Garten, Wald, Felder und einen Strand bietet. Trubel mag ich auch nur bedingt.

Nein. Ein vernünftige Stadt ist viel lebenswerter.

Jup, Kinder bekommen dadurch auch die gleich die Botschaft mit, dass der süße Alkohol eine Leckerei ist.

Das ist noch ein Argument, das aus dem Kassenbereich zu verbannen. Zur Diebstahlprävention könnte die Ware auch weniger griffbereit und weniger verführerisch platziert werden.

Ein erster Schritt wäre, mal die Schnapsflaschen aus dem Süßigkeitenregal an der Kasse zu verbannen. Hochprozentiges wird hier behandelt wie Schokoriegel und Kaugummi, etwas, dass man sich mal eben so nebenbei reinzieht.

Played stupid game, won stupid prize.

No one here has suggested banning everything that costs the public money.

Smokers, on the other hand, are a minority in society. And in a democratic society, majorities can form to create laws.

Obesity is a little different issue since nutrition is not optional; smoking, on the other hand, is quite non-essential.

There are also programs that address the problem of obesity. The regulation of sugar use as an ingredient in food, for example. But laws in this field are subject to greater influence from the food manufacturers’ lobby. The tobacco lobby, on the other hand, no longer wields as much power, as the majority of people are non-smokers.

We see who decides: the government. In Britain they are elected to do so. That’s democracy. The majority of people are non-smokers, and the tobacco lobby no longer has the power it used to.

They don’t die cheap if they’re treated for cancer several years before the final breath. Billions are lost to society annually as a result. Cancer treatment is largely futile, yet it’s overly expensive. The revenue from tobacco tax is far from sufficient to cover that.

Even if they’re smoking at home, the enormous costs to the healthcare system caused by smokers every year are a burden on the shoulders of everyone in society.

I need some scotch to feel comfortable.
