I worked at a small family-owned coffee shop for a while. They were proud of the fact they paid 25 cents over minimum wage. I’ll be honest, the tips were good and I was averaging roughly $28/hr with tips. Tips paid with card were taxed, and cash tips were uh… well, you’re supposed to report those technically.
But if we wasted so much as a napkin or an ounce of milk there would be repremands. Meanwhile the owners upgraded their Tesla and bought themselves a second house to rent out for supplemental income.
I don’t blame the tippers. Employers can afford to pay a fair wage. They’re selfish and they can’t manage their own business properly.
