The owner is evil, but anyone who doesn’t tip a waiter that earns too little to be able to afford to live is an asshole.
Here's a tip: that waiter should unionize.
You heard it here folks, it's just that easy. Unionize today! I'm sure there is a well established Union already in your area ready to take you on and fight for you and your $15 a month in dues! Go gettem, tiger.
Of all the reasons I've seen for why people struggle to unionize, I have never seen anyone suggest that unions don't want members.
It's not that they don't want members, it's that people assume all unions are massive machines capable of turning your life around in a second, where in reality most of them will give you some legal packets so you know your rights, and a pat on the back if you take your employer to court. There isn't a large restaurant union in my city, just a few small ones that are focused on single businesses. We all have to start somewhere, but just up and joining a small union isn't going to help when the owner of the business can just let you go and hire someone else who isn't unionized.
