Shortly before opening, Casa Bonita’s new owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to eliminate tipping and instead pay workers a flat wage of $30 per hour.

Now I could be wrong, but getting a an hourly wage as a restaurant worker is FAR better than relying on tips. I feel like either workers in this situation are too obsessed with tips or there’s huge context missing.

it's also kinda messed up to have people on a grading pay scale of how attractive they are

oh definitely fucked up, im just saying theres a lot of people who enjoy that perk, not that i think its right, especialy since the beauty standard is racist, ablelist, ect. trying to show why many people are against getting rid of tipping.

I think I'm about at that age where what little pretty privilege I had gets a surprise revoking (at least without excess makeup incantations), so I'm glad to pull that ladder up behind me. Actually this bad take is unnecessary, AI and posadism will tag team the economy. Don't worry about it.
