Comment on "If you can't afford to tip 40%, then don't eat out"

That ain’t the system we got, though. And you don’t change the system by abusing the victims of the system.

it’s not the system we got, tho. wait staff make the same minimum as retail and fast food etc. they’re not special.

Then this conversation isn’t about you. Many places have exceptions to minimum wage for tipped employees. That, plus tip-out policies means that serving a customer that doesn’t tip can actually cost the server money.

but this conversation is about me, because tipping is still expected here
