Tip positions are modern slave labour
Tipped worker here. I made a little over $40 an hour last night not including my base pay. Is that around what slaves earn?
People complaining are people who can’t afford to tip, and that’s fine, but they can stop bitching on behalf of other people.
I would argue that if you can’t afford to tip then you can’t afford the thing you’re buying. It’s an implied part of the price. Labor has to get paid one way or the other
Let it be said that I think this only applies to traditionally tipped positions. The system is already in place. I don’t think we need to keep turning wage positions into tipped positions as seems to be the trend.
All agreed.
I don’t think that’s uniquely american, though…?
In fact many countries including China and Mexico have more hours worked on average.
Working hard doesnt scale. Work smart
Work smart means getting other people to do the work for you and keeping most of the profit for yourself.
That’s absolutely not what it means. As someone who went from homelessness to 6-figures, smart moves don’t require stomping on others.
