Almost an end to tipping: Bill to allow mgmt to keep tips failed

[rh71]

nobody is complaining dummy.

I wasn't talking about ATOT. There are plenty of waiters who complain about their job and the pay.

Because unpredictability in income is in some ways more stressful then just having a low income.

Like, today's the 26th, right? So, imagine you can make anywhere from $25 to $150 in a given night, the variation is completely up to tips, and you need to have $300 by the end of the month to pay rent. You average $100 a shift, so you will probably be fine, but you have no idea whether you'll make it or not.

Fast forward now it's Sunday afternoon. The local team is out of the finals so your nights were slow. You're still $30 short for rent, there's seven church ladies drinking water in your 8-top for the last two hours, the last time they were here they left $0.37 and a Chick Tract as a tip, after trying to perform an exorcism because your pentacle fell out of your shirt while you were cleaning up their spilled food. Go ahead and tell me you're not on edge.

Honestly, you're taking a gamble with high risk, high reward - so if you may be out on the street because you're gambling, maybe you shouldn't gamble until you can actually afford to do so.

The Trump Administration's proposed rule would allow employers to pocket employees' hard-earned tips as long as they pay tipped workers the woeful federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour," said Rep. Bobby Scott (Democrat).


I didn't even know about this.
if it passed, I could see people tipping less because that $ could be kept by mgmt.

it could have been the spark to start the end to tipping! and stop everyone from having their hand out.
And most importantly, the customer would finally having an enjoyable end to the experience (dining, having hair cut, etc) instead of being guilted into tipping. <https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/why-tipping-should-be-banned-according-to-adam.2521764/>

We could do like the Brits and never tip anyone for anything.

Waiting tables is high reward?

LoL at "employees' hard-earned tips" and "woeful minimum wage" (Typical Democrat lamenting perceived "unfairness.")

You ever wait tables for a living?

So, do servers get frisked at the end of a shift? Curious.

No. It's assumed that they got at least 15% in tips, whether they did or not, and that's factored into their pay/taxes.

You said "nobody" which was already wrong.

oh and so your blanket statement is good but mine is bad? Got it. Dim wit.

Even if it's 10% of waiters complaining about low wages or tips, they need to shut their pie hole. Employment is voluntary and they do it because they think they will make out better than a minimum wage job. But hey, no waiter has complained, dummy.

I dunno what kind of enjoyable experience you're expecting to get when you're being served by minimum wage employees? Must be the Taco Bell experience
