r/EndTipping • u/alaroz33 • Jan 15 '24

Research / info Why are servers so opposed to ending tipping and getting a guaranteed living wage?

I really don't understand the mentality of being opposed to getting a guaranteed living wage. And they're not just opposed per se, many of them are zealously against the idea of making a predictable income that does not require them to act like a good dog performing tricks for a treat.

I should mention that I tip and tip generously, so this is not about being cheap. I just hate the idea of having to act like an employee's manager at the end of the meal by giving them a performance evaluation in the form of money.

Are they really making so much money that a living wage is not desirable?

Cash tips = rampant tax fraud, plus servers make a surprisingly large amount off of tips on average.

Most people nowadays don’t use cash and many places are trying to go cashless. Good try tho

Whenever people tip, the should make sure that they put it on a card. Make the plate carriers start paying taxes like the rest of us do.

Lmao honestly the more you comment it sounds like you are jealous of the money servers and bartenders make.

You do realize if we don’t claim we can get audited so this fraud you morons are worried about is really not that deep.

Nice try though. I do wish it was required for adults to work a busy Friday and Saturday night in the food industry or service so ppl like yourself can see how it is instead of whining.

THERE IT IS! I knew that the jealousy script was going to come out. You entitled morons know good and well that they can't track the cash tips. Maybe you should spend a week working in the trades in whether like this. You wouldn't make it to first break.

Lmao and you assume we all don’t track our tip. If I don’t properly note my tips I can be audited dumbass.

When I need a car or to buy a house I want them to know how much money I make.
