    So, dear reader, notice how whenever defenders of tipping come along, it’s always the same story.

    Oh boohoo my poor minimum wage (which is pegged to the same minimum wage as non-tipped workers in states where most people live).

    Ever wonder why it’s always about the minimum wage and never about how much money they make?

    Any server with 2 brain cells clears $40 an hour in untaxed cash wages every shift.

    They never report it on their taxes, and yet they will cry about their poor wittle wage at every opportunity expecting people that make half their salary to tip them 100% for rudely dropping off a plate once and never coming back, making you wait 20 minutes to close a check.

    Notice the pattern. Remember how I was right next time.

    Ask them if they’d rather abolish tipping next time. Notice how none of them say “yes”.

    All big companies are degrading in the same way.

    Teams cut down to 25% staffing with critical support roles sunsetted instead of backfilled. Revenue demands increasing quarter over quarter. Budgets declining. Profits higher than ever before, beating earnings by over 50% quarter over quarter 2 quarters in a row.

    Mistakes costing more and more money, sucking up more labor to fix that is already spread thin. I’m the project lead on half a dozen projects ranging from $100k to $1.6m in capital expense each, simultaneously, by myself.

    My role is not designed for project work. It’s supposed to be routine maintenance and operations. Which I’m also doing.

    The entire corporate world is about to eat shit and reap what they’ve sown. And stocks will be higher than ever before.

    The Western world is in free collapse, yall. Hope you realize and prepare accordingly before those funny TikToks of homeless people you watch have you in them.

    Welcome to the endgame of capitalism.
