This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm not aware of how things are on the ground in the US; it's more of a general perspective not tied to any specific country (which is my separate "meh" about strongly America-centric Lemmy, but it's very tangential)
But seeing people actually hit the absolute mandated minimum is indeed depressing. I might expect that waiter's income with tips is normally greater than the federal minimum, so maybe there's a chance not all waiters will agree to work for that, which should balance it a bit?
