And yet the meme is mocking the worker not the employer 🤔

Because the employees fight to keep themselves down and guilt us into helping keep them down. Look at how many people were fighting to make tips tax free instead of just paying people more.

Thats such a gross generalization. Does it happen? Yes totally, but the meme propagates a stereotype that the average (if not every) cafe worker is like this.
Thats my main issue with a meme like this, is that it normalizes mocking and belittling a class.
Would you for instance find it okay if we substituted “tips” for “change” and “barista” for “a homeless person”?

No. Systemic oppression that caused the concept of tipping bad.

OP’s post is punching down (which OP said they find funny, even though they don’t seem to agree with the idea that workers are to blame - that’s not sarcasm, that’s just OP being and weirdo IMO), while the very obviously sarcastic comment is treated as if it’s serious.

Keep feeding tip culture instead of focusing on decent wages.

Bro out here supporting slavery era policies, instead of realizing this is one of the many ways the rich keep us poor and fighting amongst ourselves.

No bro, never implied that. You can criticize enshittification and the “let’s transform everything into sales, lootbox-mechanics and subscriptions” attitude without blaming the fucking workers

I think being a hyporcite would mean not posting what I find funny out of fear of looking like a hypocrite
