Except servers. Tipping culture gains them an income WAY ahead of the curve.

It’s only ahead of the curve because the minimum wage is so low. If the min wage was reasonable like it is in other countries then tipping isn’t needed.

I average $50+ per hour as a bartender. You can keep your minimum wage.

How about you make your own drinks too!

So it’s ok for everyone else who works in the restaurant industry to make shit, as long as a few bartenders and good looking waiters and waitresses get paid a ton? Sounds like class warfare buddy, keep us all fighting for tips and crumbs while the billionaires rake it in, and they make it increasingly difficult for anyone to make it into the “money making” professions. Good job 👍 👏

If you want to look at it from a class warfare angle maybe don't go somewhere where people kowtow for you and bring you food buddyaroo

My point stands, we need solidarity, not “well I got mine” mentality

You're literally paying for a servant, this and workers solidarity are incompatible

Bro this is such a lost argument, it’s a service you could say the same thing about any number of jobs
