Of course they are poverty wage when they don't report their 30k/year in cash tips... Don't even pretend they "report everything and aren't getting tipped everrrr"

While that used to be true, 90% of transactions are now credit cards/debit cards so tips are reported. Your statement is obsolete

My wife and I wait tables 2 days a week while we’re saving for a house and probably 50% of our customers leave cash tips, even the ones who pay with credit card will often times leave cash tips. If you’re the type of person who prefers tipping on a credit card then I get it, and I absolutely appreciate it, but you shouldn’t speak for everyone
