Serving is a low skill, job outside of fine dining. You remember a couple pages worth of menu and you write down what people want and you fill their drinks. It's not high skilled. It's hard physically hard. A 16 year old can do it well after a week or two of training. Getting $150 in tips for a 6 hour shift and then only reporting half of it on your taxes is a showcase in how stupid it is to tip so much for it.
You're talking about "oh, poor server that makes $2.13 an hour" but why do you think servers as a whole are vehemently against removing tips and going to a normal pay? They no what skill lever their job falls at. They know if they were being paid hourly with no tips they'd be getting paid around the same as fast station clerks, retail workers, and grocers. Making in the ball park of $16/hr (obviously varies by area) and they would actually hate to be making that.
Eh, plenty of servers in Europe are grown ass adults and they dont rely on tips. How do you think that works?
Maybe once service starts declining more than it already has in the US, the customers will start complaining and the corporations will listen and try to pay servers a better wage so they are happier and more inclined to give happy service.
Or maybe they'll just keep raping profits from the "low-skilled" workers until the only ones who WANT to do the job CANT do the job because they arent skilled enough (hence, the decline of service quality in America as it stands today).
It sounds like you're trying to argue against what I said, but I can't actually tell what you're arguing against.
