minus-squareTheAlbacor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 days agoWage theft is the largest type of crime in the US. A huge amount of employers are abusive, not all of them have workers at tipping wages. Maybe instead of taking money out of another working-class person’s pocket, we need to actually have some class solidarity. If you don’t want a tip, don’t eat there. But eating in a place like that and refusing to tip is just hurting other working people.
