People who make more in daily interest than the worker does from the shift , I don't think have the moral high ground on tipping.
Guy taking home $250k salary with health care griping about $10 extra. Really.
Sure, income and the economy should be different. The worker can't pay for housing with idealism.
I think you're missing the fact that the bosses of the establishment aren't paying their employees fair wages and thats the only reason the tip is needed. Im not paying 25% for shit service. Tips are a GRATUITY for doing a good job and equate to a BONUS. They are not, nor were they ever, a defacto part of someone's earnings.
Have you ever worked for tips or been a close friend of someone who did?
You don't work for tips. You work for a wage. And yes I worked years in the service industry and still have many friends in it.
Your experiences are different. My friends who work for tips tell me they rely on that money. Losing those tips would have an immediate and real adverse impact on their health and safety.
