I work at a small locally owned restaurant. Decent business, less than 10 employees.
We're paid less than minimum wage for the state but do receive tips. And I fucking hate it. Lately I've found myself getting angry when customers don't tip. Not because I think I deserve it, I'm making coffees and handing out food, whatever. But I'm angry because I know if I don't get tips I don't get a lot of money. I've had to stop myself multiple times in the past few months and remind myself it's not the customers fault.
I hate tipped wages.
