    So don’t work that job. Shit pay should result in nobody working there.

    It shouldn’t result in an expectation of the customers to pay your wage in an unspoken random amount on top of their bill

      don’t work that job

      Unionizing across the industry and striking would go a longer way towards that goal.

      And it shouldn’t result in workers being paid an unlivable wage but here we are…

      Oh yeah everyone can just go to the job store and get a new job at-will and there are absolutely no external factors that could impact that. Clearly they work for minimum wage + tips at a thankless job serving people like you out of their passion for the work.

      It shouldn’t, no. But there’s a $2.13 an hour minimum wage for tipped employees. Employers have to fill the gap to $7.25 if tips don’t cover it, but the simple matter is the law facilitates the expectation customers pay tips.
