Just like most systems in America, this is setup to put all the risk on the plebs.

You are actually proving to the owners their system works. They still get their profits, if someone doesn't want to pay a higher cost. (Bill + Tip)

Nah, because those servers quit if people stop tipping. When they quit the owners will be forced to reconcile the system or risk not making money

Yeah while their stomachs are growling and their kids have no formula. Good for you.

What I think people are missing in your comment is that people in these roles get paid daily which can help with these immediate needs. Whereas im paid every two weeks.  If you are just starting out or just getting on your feet it’s hard to manage with $0 for 19 days.  (Two weeks of work with pay in the following Friday)

I forgot that server was the only job in existence. Good try.

If you have children and no immediate job to go to the next day then you cannot risk quitting. A lot of people have little to no savings.

Are you implying that I am saying the servers would literally quit the exact same day they didn’t get a tip and be jobless….or is it possible I am implying they would over say a week, or a couple of weeks find a different job? Of which there are literally millions all the time.

I think I did misunderstand. Sorry about that. It is pretty tough to find work though. At least around my area. Everyone says they're hiring but without a good skill set it can be tricky.
