Can you share your vision for a world where everyone takes these opportunities and no one is a waiter? Do we not have restaurants? What about other low wage labor? Do people working for sweatshop wages in developing countries also have other opportunities they're not taking or is something else going on there?
- brk 3y agoYou're extrapolating far too much from my post. But for starters, it would be perfectly viable for people to be waiters, and to even have tips be a component of their wage. But there needs to be the recognition that the tips still need to be earned. That can start at the more legacy value of 10-15% for simply doing a decently basic job, and ramp up from there. However today we are seeing a progression towards some of the these workers expecting >20% for absolute minimum effort. The primary alternative would be that the restaurant charges the actual price required to pay people a competitive wage, which is the basic approach in almost every other type of business.
