    Yeah, actually. Waiting tables is one of the few, ubiquitous jobs you can get without higher education that has a reasonable chance to pay well.

    This flight against tipping is crab mentality. You’re not doing them any favors, you’re just going to lower their wage to $18/hr flat, with no healthcare and still shitty part-time hours, and some corpo is gonna pocket the difference.

        No, they don’t. But they usually do better than that now, with a free exceptions.

        For the record the $2.13 min wage is bullshit either way. When the min wage is under $10 we don’t need a special exemption for servers.
