    If you aren’t talking about why tipping is a thing. Just shut up about this. Be an asshole or don’t. But just shut the fuck up.

    There’s no reason to be mad at people who are underpaid. Be mad about why and how they’re underpaid. Be mad at who is underpaying them.

      No… it’s the servers themselves who keep perpetuating this shit and supporting it in online discussions

      ALL service workers are underpaid, but restaurant servers are making out like bandits.

      Tipping sucks for the obvious systemic reasons. But also, the entitlement of service staff is problematic.

        Absolutely, it’s fair to say that min wage is low. But it’s not fair to only give extra money to restaurant service. The restaurant staff are not entitled to a higher wage than other min wage workers. Especially since 2022 when the separate server wage was abolished.

        These types of comments don’t say what should happen when a certain policy objective has been achieved. That is, of course, stop tipping. Instead there is a desire to get min wage + extra tips.
