Tip positions are modern slave labour
Modern slavery is modern slave labor. This is poverty wages which is almost as bad, but slightly distinct
Funny how I never see servers bitching. Isn't that strange? The very people who are victimized got nothing to say?
I worked IT for a payroll firm, saw the numbers. Those servers are making bank, if they're any good. If not? Well fucking quit if you suck at it, find something you rock at.
At my college job, never saw so much green as the waitresses counting their rolls at the end of the night. LOL, whole front-of-the-house staff was blasted on coke. Those poor, penniless kids. :(
Tipped worker here. I made a little over $40 an hour last night not including my base pay. Is that around what slaves earn?
People complaining are people who can't afford to tip, and that's fine, but they can stop bitching on behalf of other people.
I would argue that if you can't afford to tip then you can't afford the thing you're buying. It's an implied part of the price. Labor has to get paid one way or the other
Let it be said that I think this only applies to traditionally tipped positions. The system is already in place. I don't think we need to keep turning wage positions into tipped positions as seems to be the trend.
All agreed.
Why do I see so many slaves defending the system of tip slavery?
It's not slavery. It's genuinely insulting to people in actual slavery that still exist to call it as such
OK. Exploitation of labour then I guess.
Much better. Like there are literally child laborers and slaves throughout the chocolate industry. And that's just one industry, there are millions of slaves still around unfortunately
Literally, yes. There's a large difference
