Well, seeing as how the restaurant industry didn’t collapse into itself with mass staff exoduses when the tipped minimum wage was introduced, I’d bet that nothing would happen (except the continued exploitation of lower-wage workers).

Because the cook is getting paid minimum wage or more, whereas the server is getting paid under $3 an hour.

Yes, I would, as long as the service wasn’t exceptionally shitty too. Don’t assume everyone else is an asshole just because you’re one.

What on earth does that have to do with Feudalism?

Because I am not an asshole, yes I do tip if I got shitty food. I also tell the manager that I got shitty food and ask for an explanation. I have never left less than a 15% tip in my life. Luckily, I have never had truly horrible service where I know for sure that it is all the fault of the wait person. Are there…

Sorry Chump. I got paid just fine for the work that I did, in the form a decent hurly wage. As long as we have laws, along with tipping customs, whereby a waiter is paid $3.40/hour and relies on tips, then no, I would not want a portion of their tips.

If the food is shitty, I don’t eat there.

Some people have to work whatever job they can find. You should know this.

You’re such a selfish deluded prick. Typical rightwinger. And I have no problem with being rude to a person like you.

Now that I’m older, I’m surprised I didn’t threaten the manager with “You know you’ve been violating the shit out of labor laws for 16-year olds, right?”

Universal basic income.

This is good. You did more research than all the cable news crap shows, ever. Thank you.

I think most people would take exception with this part of the proposal:

I don’t care if you find me insufferable so long as that rate drops to 20%! You can go fuck yourself! I’ll just take my tax cut!

Fuck it! Why don’t we start tipping convenience store employees, bus drivers, DMV clerks, and department store greeters? Might as well, right?

So you didn’t read the part where it only applies to workers already making a full minimum wage?

Federal minimum wage is $10.10 and hour for non tipped employees.

you wouldn’t be asking that if you ever been to Milwaukee

Tipping is weird anyway. Let’s just get rid of the stupid practice and pay a decent wage to start.

Any thought to the idea that Gronk was trying to get suspended on purpose so he can fully enjoy Tilted Kilt’s “1/2 off Breasts and Wings” Sunday special next week?
