Haha, the guy in this meme is exactly how I'd picture a financial advisor in 2030.

[-] RooPappy@kbin.social 32 points 8 months ago

Pretty sure that's John Hamm with photoshopped hair?

That's Jon Hamm's head with Patrick Mahomes' hair.

[-] psmgx@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Bro there are financial advisors, i.e bank tellers, who look like this now

[-] Lawdoggo@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

taking financial advice from a bank teller

Bruh

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

What do they tell the bank?

[-] Perfide@reddthat.com 11 points 8 months ago

Bank tellers are not financial advisors lmao.

[-] yukichigai@kbin.social 71 points 8 months ago

I can tell this is old because the tip selection doesn't go up to 30%+.

Seriously, tipping is getting out of hand. I compromised by going above 15% to begin with, I'll be cold and dead in the ground before I go above 20% and I will die on this hill.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 31 points 8 months ago

Don't tip non-service oriented people at all. You shouldn't tip a gas station attendant for ringing up your bottle of water. Just stick to the traditional tipping industries tipping everyone helps no one except for the credit card processing companies, since the people getting those tips now have to turn around and hand them to someone else every time they spend their money. It's all a scam by the processing companies.

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 17 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I remember when 10% used to be default for typical service and 15%-18% for exemplary service. Then, several years ago, suddenly everyone started putting 15% as the lowest option on their debit/credit machines. Now I have to push Other Amount to add a 10% tip, but honestly just pressing the no-tip button would be a lot easier. I don't do it, but it sure is getting tempting.

Now I have to push Other Amount to add a 10% tip

It's especially getting out of hand when convenience stores are doing it, and then the cashier has the gall to give you a shitty look, especially when you hit no tip. Motherfucker, you scanned my item and processed a transaction, why the fuck do you deserve a tip for just doing your job?

[-] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

I will get hate for it but that last sentence is exactly how I feel about a waiter at a restaurant. You brought me my drink, and you brought me my food. Which is supposed to be your job, I understand that a lot of them get paid potentially less than minimum wage but that's not my fault. I paid what was asked for, if the server went Above and Beyond in some way I will generally leave a tip but if they just did their job I don't see any reason to.

Be mad at your bosses for being worthless piles of shit who don't pay you properly not me for not paying more than what I was asked to pay

[-] Lionel@endlesstalk.org 6 points 8 months ago

The dirty look from people whose jobs don’t deserve a tip drives me over the edge

[-] fluckx@lemmy.world 63 points 8 months ago

Last time I was in the states for a conference I had to do a self checkout in a shop and the machine asked for a tip.....

FOR WHO? I did everything myself? Do you pay these machines a salary too low to survive as well?

[-] dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de 36 points 8 months ago

Doesn't hurt to ask. And the tip is for the CEO.

[-] smokingManhole@lemmy.world 42 points 8 months ago

Future's looking sus, major oof vibes

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 18 points 8 months ago

Bruh, market's gone down the skibidi toilet. Everyone's big mad fr fr.

The famous "Meet me at McDonald's" haircut.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 26 points 8 months ago

A tip? Sure, you can have 30% of my debt as a tip

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 9 points 8 months ago

Right? A % of lost money means he'll give me money, right?

[-] Selmafudd@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago

Honestly these guys would be the easiest shit for AI to replace right? Even if the AI just picks ETFs it'll beat most of them anyways

[-] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

They were already replaced nearly 50 years ago when index funds were invented. There's tons of data showing that financial advisors perform worse than a simple low fee index fund.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Sure, until it’s just AIs running markets, and then companies. Neuromancer is literally about AIs running massive multi-generational businesses. And then super fast whatever the best AI is pursues instrumental convergence to completion

There's an app for Android that's an idle game based on the paper clip theory

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Makes sense. Universal Paperclips has been out for 6 years and is the classic

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 17 points 8 months ago

Is that John Hamm with a TikTok Broccoli-boy haircut?

[-] Spendrill@lemm.ee 12 points 8 months ago

Broccoli-boy haircut

It will be a cold day in Hell before I take any kind of advice from someone whose style guru is Bellwether from Zootopia.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Wow, it's true.

John Hamm never ages.

[-] XaeroDegreaz@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Look at that tribble on dude's head.

But yeah, American tipping culture is out of control. They are even making me choose whether or not to tip at fast food restaurants now...

[-] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 months ago

Heres your tip, "dont eat yellow snow"

[-] seth@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Plant potatoes early.

“Next investment Gucci Gang. Bet.”

[-] malloc@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Only -50%? Fucking rookie numbers, bro.

Try -99%

[-] TheGIGAcapitalist@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Don't worry he's already getting a 2.3% tip every year.

[-] DannyMac@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago
