This is tipping culture out of control.
Tipping culture is tipping culture out of control.
You should see the insane way it's worshipped in the USA, all as an obviously thin front to avoid paying wages and giving workers rights. It's wild.
Worshiped? What country do you live in? The biggest argument I see for it is 'its absolutely bullshit but some jobs that's almost all they make'
I don't think I've ever, in my 41 years here, seen a single human being say it's an amazing system.
You obviously haven’t been talking to servers that make $200 a night in cash tips they don’t pay taxes on. My fiancé works in marketing for a large winery, and some of the kids they would bring in to work the restaurant would be making tons of money from it. Those are the people who love it
You don't talk to enough servers that aren't 20 year old blonde chicks. And even then, there are slow nights where they bring home $50 in tips. It's a predatory system for all involved except the owner class.
Okay? The point is that there are people who like the system, and those are the people I outlined. That’s the point of my comment as a reply to the comment above. No one here has said it’s not predatory.
Or the people in the back of the house that bust their ass, are sometimes highly trained, and take home less than the person carrying food back and forth.
That’s not the discussion going on? We are talking about who the people are that champion for tipping.
They're supposed to pay federal income tax on their tips in the USA. However, it being cash, most people take it as "under the table" wages.
I know they are supposed to, but most servers don’t. Some business will even give out your debit/credit tips in cash so you don’t have to claim them.
