So you’ve been a server and are aware of the uneven pay and the fact that if you don’t get good enough tips you’re making a starvation wage of minimum wage, and yet you still decide “fuck those people who are being exploited by restaurant owners because I don’t agree with tipping.” That’s heartless

Rediphile@lemmy.ca 8 months agoYou guessed wrong. I have a strong opinion against tipping specifically because of working in restaurants including as a server.
I did not like the inconsistent pay and would have preferred consistent pay. I’m sorry if that doesn’t align with your worldview.

Yes, because I’m against the inconsistent pay I experienced and want it to end so others do not experience the same.
Heartless is continuing to encourage such a system.

You not tipping isn’t going to result in any fundamental change in the system, you’re just stiffing the people who are being exploited.

Me not tipping probably the most meaningfully personal action I can take to help to bring a change to the system, namely ending tipping.
It’s certainly more effective than continued tipping is at trying to end tipping.

As a back of house worker, nothing was more disheartening then hearing all the servers go “I only made $200 in tips today in three hours” and being like “I only made $40 because I worked three hours.”

Yep, having worked both sides is probably part of why I see tipping as so silly.
