Hopefully Joe Biden can change things for the better
I made $9.28 total working 70 hours as a bartender- broad

How is it not comparable?
This is the problem with half-baked consideration, inconsistency.
The bottom line is a customer does not have a relationship with the waiter. The waiter, like any other employee, has a relationship with their employer.
If they're not earning enough money, that is on the employer, not the customer. Their issue should not be with the person they don't have a relationship with. The issue should be with their employer not giving them a suitable guarantee.

Always found it crazy how the onus is put on the customer and not the employer
same scam that is passed on regular folk. that they are broke because of other broke people and not because of how flagrantly disproportionate wealth distribution is. CEOs making millions of dollars in quarterly bonuses meanwhile people on twitter opposing raise for minimum earners

I am not obligated to tip just because of some f*cked up pay structure that had nothing to do with implementing. The responsibility to pay their bills and feed their children does not rest on my wallet. It is also not some prerequisite to enjoying your freedom to go out and eat wherever you like- for all you “if don’t want to tip don’t eat out” knobs.
That said, the only time I DON’T tip is when the service is bad. I don’t lessen my tip or tip anyway just to save face- I leave absolutely nothing. But that rarely happens. 90% of the time I tip. My issue on this topic is when people make it seem like it is an obligation on the customer. It is not. No one is obligated to pay over the price of their meal. I can walk back there and fix my own plate and drinks. That’s literally all a waiter does, and that’s their JOB.

It's not comparable because you're taking about companies taking labor to a country with economic differences so vast that a wage for them is abject poverty for the customer it serves.
The bottom line is if you believe the business model is wrong, do not empower the business model with your dollars while fukking over the employee in the process.
No, this is not wishful thinking. I’m not talking about some mass boycott of the restaurant industry, I’m not talking about a servers union.
The only thing I’m saying, is to tip well. Because that’s where server’s money comes from. It’s a unique job, and like you just said, we won’t fix the macro problem, so in the meantime let’s show some humanity and tip well. You’re trying to argue against that like you have a personal vendetta against tipping 20%, it’s broke bytch behavior honestly
Anyone who comes right out against tipping, I just know they don’t have much money. Sure some rich people tip poorly, but they’re quiet about it. People that complain openly and out loud about tipping, I just know that you really need that extra $9 that turns a 10% tip into 20%
I have no problem tipping..
Where the fck you get that from in any of my comments?
those jobs are for teens and college go-ers brehs

Nah, it is comparable. You're just full of shyt and don't want to admit it. I am talking about a common situation where the consumer is not expected to take responsibility for the person earning a living wage.
If you want to get technical about things, you can argue that consumers are more culpable for buying goods that exploit the poor labour laws in developing countries. Morally, their condition is worse and the opportunities available are more limited.
The bottom line is you're a hypocrite.
I can comment on this freely. I actually live in the UK where tipping is not an expectation because waiters are paid, at least, minimum wage.
You have demonstrated your hypocrisy when bending your back to explain away why you don't take the same approach towards products that exploit labour laws in developing countries.
Why would you go out to eat if you don't have enough to tip?
Didn't peep it.Notice how @Gator Reloaded sidestepped this post
Because I can afford to and it wasn't just the waiters fault. They were short staffed.
There are times I've tipped $0 when deserved.
I also wanted to make sure my full bill was an even number so he had to take that L that on behalf of my OCD

I always give generous tips when I eat at restaurants. Hell I've had family and women I've dated say I'm too generous with the tips but I don't care. In this case, which I think is ducktales anyways, needs to seek employment elsewhere or have a serious talk with his boss. Ain't no way you working 70+ hours and only make $9!

DING DING DING.
I worked as an appetizer chef at a chain restaurant. Got regular pay, servers got tips.
In high school i made pizza and answered phones at Papa John’s. Drivers got tips. I got standar pay.
in BOTH instances, the people getting tips did NOT want to get a regular hourly wage. They made way more money with tips and didn’t have to report 100% of it.
My ex was a bartender at Tim Otooles and Fridays. She would make about a stack a week. This bytch just trash and trying to go viral.
