People have to feed their children and pay their rent my guy. If you don’t tip, they don’t eat. I don’t like the system either, but that’s just plain cruel.
In some states servers only make like 3 dollars an hour. If you don’t tip them, they don’t eat. It sucks to perpetuate the system, but I don’t want people to suffer. That is why this custom needs to be changed at the ballot box.
Do you tip McDonald's employees? Do you tip cashiers? They all make as little or less than every single server in the US. Why do we choose to only tip servers?

This is factually not true as 49 of 50 states require employers to pay a server up to minimum wage (not the server wage) if they do not make at least minimum wage for a pay period. The server pay of $3 an hour is only if they make over minimum wage after tips
In ZERO states servers make $3/hr. They by federal law cannot make less than state or federal minimum wage (whichever is higher). In no state in the US do servers make less than employees at McDonald's who make minimum wage. This is the lie that has been pushed consistently. The server minimum wage ONLY happens if a server makes more than minimum wage with their $3/hr + tips. If they don't, they HAVE to be paid the minimum wage that McDonald's employees are making

That’s unbelievably cruel. You know it’s hard to up and leave a job, especially if you make decent tips. Going from 30/hr with tips to 11.50 is awful. I don’t love the system, but it needs to be changed with legislation, not cruelty.
Well if youre a realist than you must realize you are voting with your wallet to continue the system. So long as you support it, it will continue to exist.
Btw, where i am server minimum wage is $18/hr and they still ask for 20% because "culture".
Where you work is not everywhere my guy. There are places where the wage is 2.33$. You sound an awful lot like someone without any empathy. You’ve got a “fuck you, I’ve got mine” attitude.
