If you are paid $15/h that is 20% of $75. Don't you think that the clients you will serve will pay way more than that during an hour?

See, I don't need to think hypothetically. I lived it. This "you'll akshually make more money this way" is the shit owners spout so they don't have to pay you. Self-serving prop to feed those who don't know better, simply and completely untrue.

I used to love looking at my negative dollar paychecks showing my paltry 2.13 didn't even cover the fuggen taxes on my tips while the manager espoused that falsehood in the mandatory monthly meetings

Sadly, though, there are a lot of servers who do buy the lie... Doesn't make any sense to me but I've seen plenty argue quite vehemently against ending tips

Yeah... You'll find those types in every industry really, thoughtlessly accepting boss-mans self-serving lies... like if you've been working any length of time you see they'll step over your corpse for a nickel but they are paying me less... for my benefit? This is for me? Maybe if it has ever seemed like any of my bosses cared that i was a human being with needs, but naw. Maybe i'm the weird one. Maybe im too prideful. Maybe im just untrusting in general . But im not wrong here, as a rule. Why would anyone believe they have our interests at heart when we live the way they treat us every day?

Answer? Lots n lots of people.
