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?
