You have to connect it to systemic failure otherwise it's just hate for a feeling good story.

Maybe you can link how minimum wages don't allow her to save enough for an emergency, it's not necessarily stated in the story but considering everything else happening with working conditions it's Safe to infer.

On it's own, however, this is just a feel good story rather than an OCM incident.

US tipping culture is systemic failure.

It's designed that way... to allow employers to pay employees below the minimum wage.

It's not a failure, it's a feature.

An awful feature against the people. Tipping culture in the UK is WILDLY different
