How does tipping a pretty girl become as you say "a tax collected from black, ugly or fat girls"? If you said there is an "unfair" advantage I get that (not that I agree but at least I understand). What I don't get, how is it a tax?
While we are at it, are you saying there should not be jobs where pretty people make more than ugly people?
- michaelmrose 7y agoIt's a systemic disadvantage made worse by the tipping system that is uniquely shitty. Raise the minimum wage, disallow paying tipped employees less than the minimum and legally require all staff to share a tip pool. Slightly higher prices will pay for higher wages and smart money will in any modest market advertise higher prices and no tips required simultaneously.
- glofish 7y agoSo I think we settled the "tax" question. It is not a tax after all. Now, if you are born having high aptitudes for programming it is ok to make more money? If you are born pretty is not ok to make more money in some jobs?
- jbarberu 7y agoNo, it's not tax. It's just systemic discrimination. If you're ugly I think you should earn just as much money programming as if you're pretty. Serving food and waiting tables doesn't require you to be pretty, it requires you to be attentive and personable. Having lived in the US for closing in on two years, the tipping system and sales tax/fees being tacked on at checkout is one of my bigger pet-peeves. This would be illegal in other places as that's highly deceptive marketing.
