It’s crazy how some workers actually defend the tipping system and blame the consumer. They’re doing the work of their oppressors and can’t even realize it. The business isn’t subsidizing lower prices, they’re lining the pockets of their investors and telling the workers to get mad at the consumers.

I find the ones that defend it are… Attractive. I’ve heard how some can make more in a weekend than I can in a 2 week period. None of em uggos.

Or highly highly personable. But also usually both.

I was a workhorse and could solo Saturday rush for a restaurant with an hour wait, but I’d have made way more if I could flirt and bs with people when it’s slow.

You ain’t wrong.

Find me a job where I can make more than a full day of construction or contractor labor in 4-5hrs

Spoiler alert - that job is tipped.

General contractors in my state make about $45/hr

Wait staff get tipped, on average, $100 a day

Sounds like you know some shitty wait staff. My daughter currently can top $130 in 4 hours at 18 in rural Ohio.

There’s no general construction worker making 90k/year in Ohio.

According to Ziprecruiter the average annual income of General contractors in Ohio is 88k

SCB ,

That’s because you’re confusing construction and contractor work, which is different work.

You forgot your original statement.

Also, according to Ziprecruiter construction workers make, on average, $220-$260 a day in Ohio, which is a little bit below the national average of $240-$290 a day.

$200+ per day as a server is not difficult. I regularly did that as far back as 2005.

Again you should at least speak to someone who makes a living this way before developing strong and incorrect opinions.

That doesn’t change the national average is $100 in tips a day.

Your opinion is statistically wrong.

And the average construction worker earned $23.92/hr in 2005 and worked 10-12 hours a day.

Yeah my part time job is tipped and I hate it. It’s a a scam for both the consumer and the worker. I just want a higher wage and not be at the whelm of ppl
