>nobody is going to serve for under 20/hr
Why would servers deserve anything close to that?
If you dont have enough to tip...
>"I rely on tips to pay my mortgage"
Do you want competent servers or not? They have to make a liveable wage somehow
>driver has shitty manager that can't find him something to do
There is always something to be prepped, washed, or swept in a pizza shop
Because a good server makes close to that depending on whether or not they live in a city.
There's a reason most long-term servers are single mothers that somehow drive newer cars and afford a mortgage. Untaxed income does a fucking lot.
This is why I don't order delivery...always pick up. I feel no obligation to tip when a cook is handing me food over a counter. Servers serve, if they're not serving me they deserve nothing.
Fuck your tip jar.
I mean I'm very sorry the government taxes their tips, that's fucked up. That ain't my fault. It would appear to me that waitresses are one of the many groups the government fucks in the ass on a regular basis. If you show me a piece of paper that says the government shouldn't do that, I'll sign it. Put it to a vote, I'll vote for it. But what I won't do is play ball. And this non-college bullshit you're givin' me, I got two words for that: learn to fuckin' type, 'cause if you're expecting me to help out with the rent you're in for a big fuckin' surprise.
>IF YOU CANT AFFORD TO TIP ME THEN DONT EAT HERE
Why the hell not? If I don't eat at your restaurant, you still aren't getting paid either way.
But they're talking about delivery, just order carry out???
>I mean I'm very sorry the government taxes their tips, that's fucked up
They also tax profit from investment, stock trading, gambling, and literally anything that can be construed as income.
Tips are income.
Income is taxable.
The only reason servers get away with not getting taxed on most of it is because of cash tips they simply don't report, which is a felony.
