Why is it arbitrarily OK for waiting jobs?

[–] [email protected] 72 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It shouldn’t be, but it’s US law.

https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/wagestips

An employer of a tipped employee is only required to pay $2.13 per hour in direct wages if that amount combined with the tips received at least equals the federal minimum wage.

Fuck this law, and fuck employers that try to skirt around it when tips are too low. Also fuck employers in general who aren’t willing to pay their employees a living wage.

I tip for waiting jobs because I know people work for shitty employers and it’s their primary income source. But I hate the system, not the people who need tips to get by.

Freedom and oppression.

Corporate asked me to find the difference between these two pictures.

Corporate

I appriciate the subtle reinforcement of the theme here.

In the same way as jobs that have pay based on commission.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Commission is wrapped up in the sale price, not a separate payment to the employee that I decided upon. The company takes payment and then they pay the employee. This also makes sure the employee is not getting stiffed.
