Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You are being disingenuous by suggesting all service is equal. There is a difference between exceptional customer service and mediocre. Don’t you think servers should be able to be rewarded for going above and beyond?
Obviously the business needs to pay a fair wage but tipping in the service industry allows exceptional service to be rewarded.
Sure. Here. have a Jack Chick Tract. 2.13 is obscene and you know it.
I never once said that it is ok to pay servers below minimum wage because they make it up in tips. Using that as your argument for why we shouldn’t tip is a straw man fallacy.
If a place is offering below minimum wage to work for tips, who’s fault is it for working there? I understand that people are many times not in a position to negotiate pay, especially when it’s an industry standard but at some point workers have to stand up for themselves. There is a huge movement here in the US with millennials and gen x refusing to work for poor pay. That is the only way to change the industry.
2.13 is the minimum wage for tipped workers.
And now you're blaming the exploited for their exploitation.
Why even have a minimum wage when the people with no power at all can just choose not to be exploited and starve?
