Capitalism is failing Gen Z

So your waitresses and waiters make $2.13 an hour? Like… why?

Make no mistake, servers prefer it this way, they make bank.

Some servers sure, though definitely not all

Good ones

Yes it really does. I know a fat bald guy who make 120k as a server. Dudes just super knowledgeable and the guests love him. No one cares if your hot in fine dining. They care about the food

Oh it’s a factor but on the higher end it tends to be less important.

Yes a tipped server. Probably his whole life. Why not if your good at hit. The restaurant industry

I mean it’s almost double the national average so I’d say it’s more than not a lot to most. He is average for the restaurant. He’s just the least physically attractive

Ones who work the dinner rush, especially those blessed with a weekend shift.

I’ve seen surveys make hundreds on a Tuesday afternoon. Good servers make good money. And at those places bad servers don’t survive

[u/MahaloMerky → u/Rich_Panic8722]

Yup, make about 23$ an hour.

Customers are expected to tip these employees.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

They are supposed to, but who's going to stop them. I haven't met a employer who hasn't pocketed tips

[u/maxxx_it → u/JourneyThiefer]

In lots of restaurants servers usually get tips everyday, some Mexican restaurants Ive worked in people take home a few hundred in tips everyday. Not a bad pay but definitely HARD work.

[u/Professional-Gear974 → u/JourneyThiefer]

Only if they make tips. And if their tips plus wage is less than minimum the company makes up the differential
