No, it's because their manager who manages the business(hypothetically) isn't paying them.

Just like groceries don't include tax in the advertised price. the system is designed to screw us over.

Nah, that's just in America, because Americans are dumb. Tipping doesn't exist here BTW, because it's idiotic and why would we do that.

(if Americans aren't dumb, why did they vote for Trump twice?)

(I finally found an upside to the Trump presidency!)

Almost 70 million people voted against him, myself included. We’re not a monolith. Also, only 11 states tax groceries.

Canadians do tip as well, and you can't blame Trumpets for that 😁

[-] PuddleOfKittens@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 minute ago

Australians don't tip, and Canadians are just Americans with a French accent.

Left, right and a hook.

[-] gmanlikescheese@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

To be fair, no products sold (that I'm aware of) include tax on the sticker price, and here in TX groceries (unprepared food) are not subject to state sales tax.

It pits the well being of the customer against the well being of the server. It's a pretty evil system. Pay everyone a living wage. Everybody deserves to live.

Replace waiter with "CEO" and you begin to understand why socialists believe what they do

[-] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

*Manages the business, pretty sure that is their actual job, but...

I believe in socialism because the lions share of value should be returned to those who exerted the majority of effort, not the inverse, which is the stupid system we have now

Except instead of 25%, it’s 250%.

And the company owners do not walk or have to deal with customers.

[-] Good_morning@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 hours ago

Of course they don't walk, they ride pelotons

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 hour ago

It must be hard not knowing even the most basic math. How is this CEO getting more money than I pay for the meal?

[-] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee -3 points 1 hour ago

If you find like paying for service don’t go out. This is the way that it is and these are likely the guests that then get on Yelp and complain…about service. You can adjust minimum wage all you want but professional waitstaff aren’t going to pander to the wealthy for minimum wage. Minimum wage service sucks as it should, you get what you pay for; minimum wage, minimum effort. If you don’t like the system, change it, don’t victimize your fellow workers. They accepted the job under this current system. I’m in that system and am working to change it but until then if you don’t tip due to your high moral standards YTA. And it’s not because USians are stoopid (we are), it’s just the ingrained culture. Under capitalism the guest will be paying this money regardless. Much like this fauxmockracy, your choice is an illusion…
