    Maybe originally, but now a majority of people in the service industry rely on tips cause they are paid like $3/hr

      Genuinely not my problem. If you’re not paid enough, there’s plenty of low qualification jobs out there.

        Are there really, though? Especially ones that pay a wage you can live on. Those are rare, and generally already occupied by someone who isn’t leaving unless forced to.

        Everyone wants to be like “oh if you don’t like it then just quit” but if every restaurant server in your city took that advice I guarantee there would be a huge stink about it. We’ve been hearing it for years already with the “nobody wants to work anymore” - no, people want to work, they need to in order to survive. Just, nobody wants to work for your shitty wages that they can’t pay for both rent and groceries with.

          They can either offer a living wage or they can keep crying about it.

          I genuinely don’t care what a bunch of losers complain about.
