So don’t work that job. Shit pay should result in nobody working there.
Oh yeah everyone can just go to the job store and get a new job at-will and there are absolutely no external factors that could impact that. Clearly they work for minimum wage + tips at a thankless job serving people like you out of their passion for the work.
It shouldn’t, no. But there’s a $2.13 an hour minimum wage for tipped employees. Employers have to fill the gap to $7.25 if tips don’t cover it, but the simple matter is the law facilitates the expectation customers pay tips.
Dude don’t be an ass you know what I am saying. 43 states don’t do what you’re talking about. 7 do. That’s not “many” and many of don’t live in those places.
I mean, I don’t. I know people who have had to work terrible jobs serving food because there are work requirements to their medicaid benefits and such.
It’d be great if exploitative jobs were eliminated. But the legal minimum is generally what the market pressures businesses to run with.

It shouldn’t result in an expectation of the customers to pay your wage in an unspoken random amount on top of their bill
Unionizing across the industry and striking would go a longer way towards that goal.
And it shouldn’t result in workers being paid an unlivable wage but here we are…

Yes, jobs are extremely easy to come by everywhere and everyone gets to do their ideal work, anytime they want.
Strap on your job helmet!
If you didn’t get tips would you work for a restaurant for an abysmal wage? Or look elsewhere

7 States and DC don’t have a tipped minimum wage.
In CA it’s $15.50 currently with our without tips.
43 states do.
And don’t forget the colonies of puerto Rico and Guam
TIL!
It’s almost like there are 50 states or something…

Uh huh.
So stop working those jobs.
You’re literally agreeing to work for $2.13 an hour. Would you do that at any other job? Fuck no!
Anything else you get is just kindness.

It’s not always a choice
There’s always a choice. Nobody HAS to work in a restaurant for tips
This is profoundly ignorant. Sorry, it just is. You need to read up on this stuff man.

Ah of course, I forgot the people FORCED to work in restaurants
