A lot of people in the comments are remarking on the tip culture in America. Friendly reminder that it's not the culture that necessitates tipping here. We have a tipping economy when it comes to a lot of service work. $2.13 is the minimum wage for servers in the states. This is less than what could rightfully be called a starvation wage, so tipping is a social necessity. You might think that's crazy and we should change it, and you would be correct.
And yet this is BS when many servers are among the highest paid minimum wage people.
And they’ve had this ridiculous tipping wage for decades, and used to be ok with 15% tips
Now suddenly everyone wants a tip regardless whether they’re a server, some tips are stolen by management, we pay “service fees” for the servers, and suddenly we also need 20+% on hugely inflated food prices.
I’m sorry but servers seem like the only part of the economy doing well
Doing well? They're getting by like the rest of us. Why would they do that job if they weren't being paid for it?
I’m saying they’re demanding higher tips on highly inflated food, while most of us don’t keep up with inflation
do you REALLY think the servers set the prices?
No but I can do basic math: taking a higher percentage of higher than inflation price increases is higher than inflation
…. And you need to read a few more words into the sentence “ they’re demanding higher tips”
no, I'll take what you wrote as what you meant, dumbfuck
Since no one believes in unions and they've been legislatively kneecapped, social pressure to pay them tends to fall on the consumer. It's not ideal, but such is the economy we live in.
Have you tried blaming someone with power?
Yes I’ve tried blaming my fellow voter, tried to persuade them to raise the minimum wage for all workers and do away with the tip wage altogether
Maybe they’ll still do better than the rest of us, or maybe not, but it’ll put them in the same boat as everyone else, or at least in the same water
And yes, I’ve repeatedly talked to my one brother in manufacturing about how much he’s benefited from unions, despite being in a salaried position where he’s not directly represented
Votes don't equate to real power. Huge amounts of money and resources, like we see everyday in the news, are what move the needle. The only counter to that is mobilized political outrage. Overwhelming numbers of people making the economy sputter until demands are met. Otherwise, we can expect more of what we have now.
But yeah, a higher min wage is a good step forward.
