How do you feel about people who make a living off tips not paying taxes on said tips, or underreporting?

I know bartenders and waitresses who are against minimum wage even if it was $25/hr, because they make more in tips and they don’t pay nearly the same taxes are someone who earns $25/hr.

And for the record, I tip generously. They love when we show up.

He might have made a ton of credit card tips which sometimes, depending on how you set your taxes up, they'll tax your hourly salary for it. He still couldve made a couple thousand or more that for that 70 hour week.

Yeah. I always tip 20%.

I tipped 15% last Saturday due to bad service though.

How about these restaurants pay them a reasonable wage?

I tip all the time, no problem. But let's be real the real issue is not the tipping. Tips should be the cherry on top for any "tip" job...

Bullshyt as society where we blame the tippers and not the establishments. It starts there....

I don't why people work at bartenders or waiters. Can't they make more working at Wal-Mart? I don't thin the requirements were that high.
