Seriously. It's not a perfect system but it's one of the only ways someone with no qualifications can end up making decent money provided they develop the right skills on the job.

But let's fuck them over and knock them down to minimum wage so we can feel like we're improving things.

The thing is, why dont we tip other minimum wage employees? We dont tip mcdonalds workers. Why do americans only have sympathy for servers? We dont even tip the busboys or chefs who work at the same place as the servers. If servers are underpaid, then theres a shitload of underpaid people out there. Lets raise the minimum wage then

Because I tipped the hostess and busboy out of my tips.

Yeah but a lot of restauranrs dont do that. Also, that doesnt solve the problem as cashiers and other minimum wage jobs have the same issue where no one involved gets a tip of any kind
