    The business owner didn’t even play a direct part in any of this.

    Yeah they just make more money because the server and the employer made an agreement whereby the server takes less from the employer and expects more from the customer in return.

    Totally not involved at all… just how they want you to think of the situation.

      Business owners will do whatever make more money. If a server was willing to volunteer and work for free, or worse pay the business owner $5/h to work there, the business owner would happily take that deal too.

      I’ve been very clear the entire time that the business owner is not acting ethically. But they will continue to act like that unless we force them to change.

        So it’s up to the server to look out for their interests and demand a better wage. Its not “keep tipping servers more and more because its the path of least resistance to prosperity for servers”.

        Lots of jobs don’t pay enough in this country, but for some reason servers believe it entitles them to a donation. This is the status quo servers fought for because it made them more money than most of the rest of the staff until now.
