> To me, it is far greater malicious deception that we have a category of business that is essentially allowed to advertise false pricing, where as a customer you are expected to routinely pay much more than the stated price for things. I agree with you on that. "Malicious deception" was not intended as a personal attack, I understand if it sounds like that. I tried to express how far off from reality this is when looking at all kinds of work, not only waiters. I can sympathize with preferring being a waiter to e.g. unskilled factory or warehouse jobs. There are just so many break-neck types of work that destroy the health of anyone doing them... in short: my point wasn't much more than "markets aren't fair and some people have to choose between bad options"
