Ok, so stay out of American restaurants. We don't want you in them.
Typical American, grouping an entire nation into a personal opinion. Well done.
Do you work for free? What if someone came to the place where you work and demanded that you work for them for free? Because that's exactly what you're doing to servers in America if you aren't tipping them, and I can assure you that no one on the planet wants to work without pay. It is not a personal opinion, it's an objective fact.
Also, I'd like to point out the hilarious irony of you making a blanket statement about all Americans by claiming that's what Americans do. The projection is palpable.
I said typical, as in average or stereotype. Was more a jab/joke than anything, but you do you. Again, it's not my responsibility to make up for shit pay. So instead of being mad at how fundamentally broken the system is, you're mad at people who don't tip a very specific industry/job. You're really something. Well done.
You're the one who's convinced himself that he's justified in forcing people to work without pay, because you've decided it shouldn't be the way it really is. In other words, a real (entitled) goddamn asshole. If there's a hell, I sincerely hope that you end up in it, being forced to work for free every day for eternity. It's what you've done to others, so you've fucking earned it.
They get paid. It's in this thread multiple times from multiple people. There's likely a special place for me in hell, I won't argue that. But I hope you have enough self reflection to realize corporate ball suckers like yourself also have a special place down there with me. Have a great day.
Once again, you're not fighting corporations, owners, "the man", etc. You're hurting workers.
You're only talking about one side of the coin. If the corps, owners, "the man", etc. Paid living wages tips wouldn't, in your opinion, "need" to exist. But since you aren't able to grasp the bigger picture I think we're done here. Have yourself a wonderful day.
