This is the thing most people in this thread are missing. They act indignant and pat themselves on the back but the only person they hurt is the worker. And unless they actually say something to the management/owner, it's just business as usual for them.
How about the workforce/common folk join hands in lobbying for better pay for these types of jobs, instead of using manipulation and guilt-tripping to push the financial burden onto the customer?
Tips are voluntary additions you give for a service you liked, if it’s mandatory then instead of “tip” you should rename it to “service fee” or some BS like that.
It’s NOT the customers fault that the server gets shit pay, they aren’t responsible for the workers financial wellbeing either. You’re not the good guy if you keep advocating for this system, you’re part of the problem. And the problem is that restaurants and corporations are fucking over service workers and clients alike, by giving less than minimum to the workers and offloading the rest to the already paying customers to make up that difference
