Aussies are actively trying to educate all Americans who visit their sunburnt country to refrain from tipping. Rounding up is fine, but forget that 20% bullshit.
If just there was some sort of action employees could take where they group together and refuse to work until they get fair wages… like a collection of people
I mean they are already getting fkd over as employees by their companies and why not fk each other while at it too ? Bet you there are plenty of "tips" they can be giving each other .
Servers are gambling addicts. Every tip is a roll of the dice. "Maybe the next one will be a billionaire who tips $1,000,000". They don't want higher pay. They want tips, even if that means they starve.
The average tipped earner would earn more with a living wage than they earn with tips, but they will vote against a pay increase, to guarantee they get to keep tips.
I’ve worked in the restaurant industry as a server/bartender for the majority of my life and I don’t find that to be true at all. In fact , I don’t think I’ve ever heard a employee making 2.13/hour say that they’d rather not have a reasonable wage.
Where did you work? I was in the south, and I saw it at many places. I didn't work restaurants in NYC, but the feel I got while I lived there was different.
It's a false argument saying that servers should make $15/hr. If it were $25 - $30 per hour, which is roughly the same as tipping 20% at a mid-range restaurant + $2.33 per hour, it would even the playing field.
Right now, if you're young and hot, you'll make more money than someone who is old and not-so-hot, regardless of skill. If you work at a more expensive restaurant, you'll make more money than at a diner. Same work, same everything -- why the pay differential? Why not pay workers a living wage where you arent' subject to the prejudices of customers and the price point of the food?
Aye, they need to be paid a proper wage. It shouldn't be the public's responsibility to pay the staff. And I'm sure the food isn't any cheaper. Of course, when I visited America, I tipped because I knew about the BS pay. Some Europeans don't know about that.
I worked as a waitress in college and we rarely got tips, didn't expect them either. It wasn't a high paying job, but it was above the minimum wage at the time, so the same as people in retail. People often just told us to keep the change if they were paying with notes, so that would go in the jar.
Now, wait staff here in Ireland are starting to think they are entitled to a 20% tip. They get paid a salary. Why should they be tipped compared to people who work in retail or any other job where people are on their feet all day.
People in countries where wait staff are paid need to stop fucking tipping 20%. If you tip that, you're an idiot since the service charge is already included in the price of the meal. And the American government needs to force employers to pay wait staff. Calculate the wait staff's wages into the price of meals and be done with it.
They’re taxed if they’re cash also. Every place I’ve worked you have to claim at least 10% on cash tips ..which typically is less than what you actually made …but not always
Don't blame Republicans. This is such an ignorant statement.
Look at all the blue cities and all the blue states. Also look at the set of those that have supermajority control of the legislature in their respective jurisdictions.
Do please list the percentage of those places that have eradicated tipping and increased all employees to at least the same minimum wage so there is no longer a separate "wait staff minimum".
I'll wait....
It's not a Dem v GOP thing, clearly or every single Democrat controlled jurisdiction would've ended it already.
That this is still happening in 2024 is disgusting. Our minimum wage is now about 22$ an hour and people everywhere deserve to be paid a living wage at minimum
Lmao. Waitstaff don’t want to work for wages. They make $23 per hour in Seattle and bitch and moan when somebody tips under 20%. They make more money in tips they want hour wage low.
