To argue “it’s because they get a tip” is ignorance trying to argue for illegal and immoral practices

Pay them their minimum wage and then people can actually pay their bills and not ask for a minimum wage increase

Restaurants believe it’s cost affective until you realize that the turn over rate for waitresses is through the roof

44-50% of waitresses leave within a year according to Chron.com

Which... if you pay your $2.50 per hour staff appropriately they won’t

Or at least it will decrease dramatically

I think this problem of tip culture remains because it is not worth the effort to remove. It has existed in America for a hundred years and will probbaly exist for a hundred more.

I don't like to worry about niche inefficiencies like that myself.

But here’s the thing

Barbers get tips

And paid correctly

Also

Waitresses don’t get 100% of the tip on credit cards but only a small fraction of it

And credit cards are increasing dramatically for restaurant purchases

So thus their (cc) tips are the same as the next person regardless of their effort

Which is a very socialist ideal

Yeah I just don't care that much about the plight of the waitress

Lol

Ok that was pretty funny

What was pertty funny?

“White skin”

If I worked for 15 hours with a pay of $15.10 per hour......I'd have about $197.85

And so would everyone else getting paid that

No

Only I!

I get paid more than that currently tho

So do I get a raise?

No

Then I want your raise

And I’ll take the $15 per hour added onto mine
