Or you know. Fuck tipping culture instead of paying your employees. The bar is charging $8 for 80 cents of bottom shelf booze in a mixed drink and right now they're swamped in business with people racking up hundreds in drinks and bar food. You don't think they could afford to bonus out their staff?

Fuck you.

I'm not saying they couldn't, I'm saying they won't. You're happy to patronize those locations and give the owners $8/drink but not pay the staff.

Fuck you, friend.

oh look. Someone who thinks they earned an extra $20 for walking over a couple plates, when other people did all the work preparing it.

Literally the only people against getting rid of tipping and making the owners pay a real wage are the wait staff. They don't want to pay taxes on everything they make, and they know that they'd make less money if they were just paid by the hour.

They even got greedy as hell trying to push the normal up to 20% or more. The standard tip used to be between 10% and 15% for decades. The price of food and eating out has gone up with inflation, so why would that percentage need to change?

oh shit. Are you also saying you folded napkins and had to speak to people or use a reguster? Wow. That almost sounds like the things an hourly paid employee would do!
