A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Oh yeah I mean of course we should get rid of tipped wages and just make it a normal hourly wage, but I was just trying to make the point that removing the taxes on tips isn't gonna somehow make it impossible for waitresses to retire, it's the non-hourly wage and the rest of the economy that's doing that.

Terribly absolutist of you, old chum.

Hey I still put an "almost" in there lol.
