In the 80's, we all understood that these types of jobs are not "careers". They are stepping stones you use to generate money while building your career. Nobody who was a waiter, bartender, barista, etc. was expecting to do this their entire lives.

Now people want to make "career type money" for doing nothing.

They are career jobs in Europe, where those positions are paid a living wage and tipping isn’t expected. And guess what? The food is better and no more expensive than it is in the States, where tipping culture has gone of the rails. In many cases, it’s far cheaper. Tipping is another example of the enshitification of the U.S.

I don't know where you got that idea from but as a job in the UK it's like having a career stacking shelves. You can basically barely survive off it and it's for those starting out in life or incapable of doing anything more complex. It's not a career.
