That will only happen when we stop tipping
Don’t tip, but also don’t think your not tipping is going to change anything except that the people who work as servers who might have liked now think you are an a-hole. I am sure you don’t care about this either, also fine, you don’t have to care about any other person, place or thing, the world will go on.
All of these things you name are not the servers fault, yet the server is the who gets all the hate and the reduced pay due to the problem people have with tipping. No-one says - wow fishermen get paid terrible but also they don’t deserve money for work. I am going to stop buying fish. Every one gets paid like shit, shit on the system not the worker. Fix the system, don’t punish the worker for working within the system.
Love that Lemmy is pro worker everywhere except if they get tips. Then it suddenly becomes the workers fault that they have to beg for a living wage while also working full time.
No, if you stop tipping the servers just get paid less and the owners feel nothing for not paying them a fair wage. If you really want to make a change, don’t eat out any place that makes you tip, if you have ever seen a tip jar or a tip screen, don’t go there. That is how you vote with your wallet, you don’t make the workers subsidize your food and not tip.
This comic was not made by someone experienced what its like to work at Applebee’s in Oklahoma before, that is for sure.
The source you are quoting is a US law that says tech workers don’t qualify to get paid overtime if they are on salary or if they are paid more than $27.63/hour. This has nothing to do with minimum wage, this is a law specifically made to not pay developers overtime for crunch.
Or can afford to hire a lawyer to go after the company that employs them for wage theft.
