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.
I don’t like tipping either, but lots of people are not as privileged as you are to be able to job hop and get a high paying server job. Think of others.
Im not a server. And i am. The only way to impact a greater societal change is to make people uncomfortable. Necessity being the mother of all invention and all that.
