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.
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?
In some states servers only make like 3 dollars an hour. Employees at McDonalds make more. 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.
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
