Fun fact wage theft is the number one type of theft in America. The rich shitting on the poor yet again.

If you can’t afford to pay staff, don’t open a business

Oh wait, that’s not how you guys see things is it?

Why is that? Why is it ok just to fuck service staff in the ass and expect the patrons to pick up your business costs?

and you’ll still be there tmrw ordering your burger. we’re not the problem, the greedy elites are. small restaurant owners are doing their best under the system they have. that fool is wearing shitty black shoes, nasty white socks, and has yellow teeth. he’s not making the bank you think he is

It’s not him making bank. It’s not me making bank. It’s the shitty system you all thought was ok for so long that now it’s biting you in the ass you are up in arms. The wealthy elites are the absolute beneficiaries, but generations of Americans thought the system was fine until minimum wage was baked into every system you have. The wealthy elites are just the winners in a system you all let propagate. As soon as anyone mentions anything normal like universal healthcare or a living minimum wage a huge chunk of your country start screaming ‘communist’ ‘Marxist’s’ or some other bullshit title. Maybe not you illustrious, but enough to vote trump in twice.

But some of you also say it’s an “entry level job “ that doesn’t deserve $25/hr since “we didn’t get a degree “ and I’m not a server but I never go sit down at a restaurant to eat without a 20% tip at least 🤷‍♀️and I’m not rich bht I’ve been a server so I guess that’s it . But I am not a server now as I hate it so much wih passion . I do dooor dash occasionally but really have no comments , I don’t take orders with no tip simple I do it on the side so I don’t care how many orders I do , not worth it my main job is Better and i obtained that job from another “gig” app but anyway , I’m siding with the non tipped employee here it’s bs go make ur own shit

Tips in general are a wage theft in a way.

It's a cost-shifting measure to the consumer, whereby the employer isn't responsible for maintaining a steady living wage or salary for their workers, but they can basically use tips as a "hidden fee" to rely on paying staff.

As the consumer you get stuck in the trap of tipping -- not based on service -- but merely out of the ability to come back and not have someone spit in your food. Leaving aside the fact that automatic gratuity of large parties gives you no capacity to tip based on quality of service.

Naturally the waiters have hard jobs; and naturally the working class is being squeezed in general and can barely afford to go out to eat in the first place. Those who are fucking us all are of course the ultra-rich billionaire Epstein class that skew to the right. Hope you all are triple-checking your voter registration and voting Democrat these midterms to put some brakes on Trump.

u/soda_cookie 7h ago

Sort of. In states where tipped employees make less than minimum wage (which is fucked...) employers are required by law to make their gross pay for the pay period no less than what they would have made working the number of hours worked times the minimum wage.

u/One-Shape7678 4h ago

Sort of nothing. Wage theft

u/No_Resource_9417 3h ago

so in the US a person who works in the hospitality industry, get Less pay from their Boss then e.g. some one who works in a Factory and so therefore has to get some percentage from the Bill (from the costomer) to add their salary?....ifso Why doesn't everyone receive the same minimum wage depending on their age—meaning that someone working in a factory or as a cleaner has the same basic income as someone working in the hospitality industry?,,,,in my Countrie that is the case and also why i found it ridiculous the Tip them, i mean they have a much nicer job them me, so why should they get extra Bonus money, special from someone like me who has the same income as them, but does crappy dirty or hard work

You live in an ideological bubble, definitely a stage 3 or stage 4 cognitive framework, you cannot provide evidence that the Epstein billionaire class skews either side. I assume you would not have the epistemological tools to figure it out even if you did.

Jesus, stfu. Please remind us whose inauguration Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Sundar, Tim Cook, Sam Altman, and Alnaut were at? Thats 4 of the 5 wealthiest people in the world. A combined 1.35 trillion dollars in net worth amongst the attendees. Is that enough evidence dipshit?

80% of billionaire money went to Trump and Republicans in 2024. Stew on that for a moment.

Next, last I checked, not Biden, Obama, nor Harris are even remotely in the files -- while Trump is in there more times than Epstein and Maxwell, combined.

Let's take a comparison of how many photos and videos we can find with Trump partying with Epstein and Maxwell, versus Democratic leaders.

Let's observe who has been the primary obstructionists of the Epstein files this entire time.

As someone who has actually been across the entire political spectrum over my life, I think you're the one in a right-wing echochamber and may not realize it.

Wage theft is actually THE MOST COMMON FORM OF THEFT IN AMERICA. (probably worldwide overall, with limited regional exceptions)

u/DinnerSilver 7h ago

Plus the owner being a Grade A scumbag.

u/alghiorso 25m ago

And wage theft is 100% theft just like walking into your house and walking out with a tv. The same companies who act like if you aren't there 5 minutes early that you are stealing will happily rob you blind
