You seem to be making a ton of assumptions about what my local environment is like, how much time I have, how good my Lemming social skills are, and how much importance I would place on this one particular aspect of our society, versus all the others I could be thinking about.

The only thing I’m assuming is that you feel like you can’t talk to people who wait tables about their working conditions because “you seem kinda like a dirty city liberal,” which means you are forced to go to restaurants that treat their employees unfairly and also pay them out of your own pocket.
And I am only assuming those things because they are literally things you have said.

Yes, that is a very incomplete summery of my own statements.

Those are the ones which are relevant to what I am talking about. If you feel I didn’t bring up something relevant, feel free.
But as far as I can tell, it would not be difficult for you to ask a waiter, “do you have to make up your pay in tips because you get less than minimum wage?” You just are assuming they won’t say to you because of how you look for some reason.

Well, the answer to that question would just be no. Like I said, it’s the law, and things can be sketchy here but not like that.
