In a recent Twitch discussion, Asmongold voiced his insights on tipping culture, revealing his past habit of not tipping as he viewed it as a form of “stolen valor” for servers.

Summary

• Asmongold has historically skipped tips, associating tipping with classism.
• He prefers tipping the cooks who prepare the meals rather than the servers who deliver them.
• Feedback to his comments has been divided; some concur with his views while others criticize them as hypocritical.

Asmongold elaborated that on his journey to becoming a prominent figure, his outlook on tipping evolved. Initially, he refrained from tipping, characterizing it as a means for upper-middle-class individuals to feel superior over the working class.

Some of his followers had mixed reactions to his stance, with some supporting the notion that cooks deserve tips, while critics pointed out that servers often rely on these tips to supplement their low wages. In an economy where servers earn approximations of $2.13 an hour, tips are vital for covering living costs, even though cooks typically earn a standard wage.

Whether he’s appreciated or faced with criticism, Asmongold’s reflections resonate with broader conversations about wages and social justice in the workplace.
