This is effectively a "minimum wage tax" in addition to the sales tax. Alternatively, it can be seen as a clever way to monetize guilt, by redirecting the staff's anger from the boss to the customer.

Could you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
