If you have never worked a tipped job, let me clue you into something:
You make substantially more than other jobs of the same skill level. I'm not talking edge cases like waffle house in rural Arkansas, if you work for tips somewhere where people are, you are going to be making a killing relative to other work.
This is why you get talking out of both sides of tipped workers mouths. Tips are perpetually terrible and not enough, while switching to regular hourly pay is a hard no. Of course these workers want tips, they probably envision getting tipped $200 for picking the $1000 iPhone off the shelf. Delusional.
- badwolf 4y agoThe double-speak from people about tipping "I only get paid $2.15 an hour!" ... Yet the story changes the other way when mention of eliminating tipping and raising your wage comes up.
- pb7 4y agoOr the complaints about getting paychecks for $5 after working a week even though all that means is that their tips were so high that the entire base wage went towards tax withholding. Service industry workers lie and they lie a lot. Their tune would change very quickly if there was federal legislation outlawing tipping in lieu of higher minimum wage.
