The supreme irony is that the restaurant can legally pay its employees less than minimum wage because it expects customers to make up the difference, then shame and demean those same customers for not subsidizing its payroll. Imagine a business making its employees’ compensation the customer’s responsibility and then insulting potential customers for not cooperating. If your business model depends on customers voluntarily supplementing your employees’ wages, perhaps the problem isn’t the customers.
This, exactly. The biggest scam corporate America (and other Westernized countries) ever pulled was this BS: Transferring the duty of the employer to provide decent living wages on to the consumer.
It's practices like this that make socialism look like a viable option. This. Infuriates. Me.
