A maybe controversial take on the tipping culture in America.

As a person who works as a server in the US, I am all for wage increases but it puts me in a weird place as well and I hate that it does because I know so many would benefit from it. I work for a very successful restaurant so my pay is mostly tips as my hourly is basically non existent, 5$ an hour. If tipping was completely gone then Id made significantly less and so even though I support the fight, part of me doesnt really because of how I benefit from this shitty system. Do I think this makes me a bad person? No, I work long hours to be able to make my bills and its not like I live comfortably as the cost of living is so high in my area, I like the money I make even if this system is shitty. Anyone else…

Anyone else in a similar boat? I feel like some are to scared to speak on this because I dont see it often. Just my take. Also fuck the US govenment 🙂
