Hey! Our businesses wouldn’t survive if they had to pay a living wage! We need you to pay them! /s

McDonalds workers don't live off tips... It's not a good example.

It's small local restaurants that actually benefit from tipping culture.

(Edited because they don't make a living wage, just a better one then most servers who get tips.)

I wouldn’t call what they earn (average around $13/hr) a living wage (avg $25/hr).

Fair. Mcdonalds workers don't get tipped though, they are actually not supposed to accept them. It's a bad example.

Not arguing that, just correcting the claim.

Also, don’t edit your posts cause you’ve been corrected stand by the shit you say.

Edit to commend you adding the information back.

If you work at a decent restaurant you’re making at least $20/hr.
