People aren’t working at a restaurant because they have other options available
Not sure now… but a few years back it was the best “non skilled” job to have precisely because of tips
It’s a shit job that doesn’t care if you have no degree, prior convictions, or a mental disorder. All they care about is that you can get to work on time and accomplish 75% of your duties everyday
It does usually require people to be pretty/attractive… there are other jobs (anything back of the house) that does not require this under the same shitty work conditions
It’s a shit job for people with no other options, and you’re saying they should get paid less or find a new job
That is not what I am saying at all… Grocery store cashiers get very similar shitty conditions and they get no tips
I would like to end tipping and would love for people to be paid a living wage, the question is “how we get there?” and I am trying to see Trotsky’s take on it.
Of course, this is another social media post and it would immediately be blasted and misinterpreted without an iota of thought put into it
