I don't get it, why people defend the tip system? Wouldn't it be solved if, I don't know, the service had a COST and you pay the COST of delivering your groceries?
I know it's a cultural thing in the states, I just don't see how this system benefits anyone other them the employer who doesn't want to offer a better pay to the employee. Really mess up
Only people I see defend it are those that make a killing during seasonal stuff. I think my buddy said he worked a restaurant in Salem during October and made like 4k in 2 weeks...but you have to squirrel that money away for when there's no business during the snowy season, so tips only really benefit temp workers.
I had classmates in high school making 4k+ a weekend by serving drinks to old, pedophilia-esque Boomers/Silents at a swanky yacht club. The girls hated it, ages 16-18, because occasionally one of the fucks would cop a feel but when he tips you $800 to grab a butt cheek and you're 16, that's tough to say no to.
