I respect that restaurant is one of the hardest businesses to keep surviving but nearly every other country does it without tips so you can't really say it's "necessary" to not just pay your employees a fucking wage, and it's insane that at a national level the government just said "yup you don't have to pay your workers in a restaurant like you pay everybody else in every other job"

@sun it was necessary for all the low-quality teenage workers who would otherwise not get employed until later in their lives

... not that we have those anymore

@apropos for teenage part-time staff, one-off tips or rounded-up total tips are okay! don't need a percentage

@apropos @sun Except the vast majority of restaurants serve alcohol in some capacity and teenagers are frozen out of being waitstaff due to that. It was always about managing sticker shock and giving the owners a tax cut.
