Servers are underpaid because they make money in tips, and the tips are something like 20% of the meal they serve, which I don’t understand at all. It’d make more sense if the cooks were paid for the meal they eat, because the more expensive food is, the harder it is to make and do right, so the props should go to the cooks.
But it goes to the servers which doesn’t add up, and it’s awful. Because that means the servers aren’t guaranteed what they earn, it’s possible they earn less than minimum wage. So instead of making tipping a common social practice, people should fight for servers being paid minimum wage and abolishing tips altogether.
What happened with this guy is something altogether different. He left a tip, and the server made a huge scene over it for a total of four dollars. I don’t know about you, but if you’re shaming customers for giving you four dollars less in the expected optional tip, then you don’t deserve to be tipped at all.
