Just another example on how easy it is to divide us and how the class war was lost long.. long... long ago.

It's the tipped employees who don't realize they are getting fucked and maybe their clients shouldn't be the people expected to fill the shortfalls of their paychecks instead of, you know, their boss. It's not the people who work regular jobs themselves where they are not tipped.

Source: Working the first tipped job I have ever worked and motherfucker these people are entitled. Delivering pizza to poor people living off of disability and judging them for not tipping. It makes me fucking furious. I live in a state with one of the highest minimum wages in the country, it's not like these people are being paid $2.13 an hour. Depending on the day they can make $30+ an hour when you include tips. They're so fucking angry and shitty and petty when people don't tip. It's like, I guess fuck anyone who just wanted some comfort food in the middle of their shitty lives and it's not their fault your boss doesn't pay you better. I have previously only worked jobs where I was never tipped but still had customers acting entitled. People who demand or expect tips on top of the highest minimum wage in the country are fucking crybabies angry at the wrong fucking people. That's on them, not the people tired of the bullshit tipping culture.

The workers don't want to see tipping go away. They make bank in tips.

The unfortunate truth is that they do until they don't - Anyone I've spoken to in the service industry has basically said that they love the good busy nights and the rest is stressful. Nobody should have to worry that they might not get generous enough customers during their workday, else basically starve. What a horrible way to live.
