Sickening that we must battle for a living wage in the wealthiest nation on earth. To support: https://onefairwage.site
Good for her, tipping needs to go, time to pay people what they're worth instead of demanding the customer do so.
It won't go. Our wait staff makes at least minimum wage and we still tip. Sure you can argue if minim is enough but I don't tip the shed people or cashier's at grocery stores.
Remember that the workers of this country had to spill blood to get even a semblance of true safety standards and liveable wages.
The govt literally used military force to try to force workers to work in lethal working conditions.
Tipping should be for good service, not expected for doing your job just ok. But US servers will never let this happen, they make too much money from the current tipping culture.
Greedy bosses and greedy servers go hand in hand against a fair solution for everyone.
For the first time in quite a while I wanted to grab some Waffle House. They no longer take orders over the phone. They literally have a recorded message telling you to use their website or their app. Doing either of those required me to at least give up my email and phone. And on to of that they charge a 10% service fee that they say goes to the person who makes my order.
Yea, I'm not cool with any of that.
And that's on top of $5 waffles. $5, for a fucking thin plain ass waffle. The All-Star was $12. Ridiculous. Though, the waffle is by far the largest chunk of that cost.
The server part of the equation is why I've stopped feeling the pressure to leave larger and larger tips for an increasing number of transactions. If you want more pay, address it with your "employer." You can be mad at me all you'd like, it won't place my money in your pocket.
Supposedly California already requires servers be paid full wage. Is this true?
Yes, completely. Overtime, healthcare (full-time), and free THC gummies supplied at the beginning of each shift.
One of those may be untrue. Idk, my gummy is kicking in.
From what I have been told,.yes. At least in San Diego
Wow just finished watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show on Internet Archives and then saw this! Good for her!!!
Does anyone keep track of things that should be dealth with? From to of my head:
- Putin
- Thought Property
- Not affording to live
- Bullshit fees
With $34 trillion national debt and $1 trillion per 100 days interest. Is the US still the wealthiest country?
