Even for point 1 it's just wrong. They should not work there for that wage and if the business needs to charge more money to pay them more then charge more money.
Relying on tips for worker pay not only shifts the responsibility for paying the employees away from employer to the customer but also makes employees getting paid optional (depending on how a random person that walked in feels).
I tried to do grocery shopping at instacart recently.
The prices looked good, I spent some time making a bigger basket(around 100$) and went to checkout. Then I found out that they charge service fee about 13$, delivery fee 4.50$, heavy fee and at the very end they also added tax. My 100$ shopping was now over 120$ but then they asked me to tip the driver and options were 10% or 20%. I tried to enter custom amount but was discouraged with a scary prompt saying that my driver will see the tip and that tips under 15% are highly discouraged as my order might be deprioritised... so all those service fees, delivery fees and heavy fees are just used to run the website?! But actually paying your own employees? Nooo... that's up to you, kind stranger on the internet! Please, be generous (we are tired to look for another poor bastard every two weeks or so)!
I also started to think about the concept where communities would not be local to the instance and they would work more like domains... kind of like BBS groups did. Individual instances would then just host subgroup of these.
But I think I found problem with that idea after reading your comment. Due to different moderation policies these wouldn't be (and shouldn't be) having the same content and contributors so they might as well be separate as they are.
Excuse me, I have a problem transporting this concrete bridge segment on my VW beatle. It worked fine with my Honda Accord (just made it a bit slow) but the beatle just gets crushed under it. Anyone can tell me how to make it work?
Edit: car type to make more appropriate comparison
