Now that Elon Musk has bought Twitter - now the Pit edition (Part 1)

You are the one expressing confusion about the entire concept.

Conflate means to combine ideas into one (i.e. tipping and bribing). You seem to think that tipping is ‘bad’ because someone bribed a cable guy for another line or a waiter for a free steak. What you are missing is the difference between rewarding good, competent service and bribing someone (e.g. a politician) for that persons’s own benefit. I will admit that I don’t really have a problem with the worker getting some extra cash from the customer for getting an extra cable line, or a waiter for giving a customer a free steak. In both cases, that builds customer loyalty and return business. I’m still not sure what your angle is.

My apologies @wolfpup. I think it was @k9bfriender who dragged me to the Pit.
