DIE ON THIS HILL
society

Tipping culture is corporations outsourcing employee wages to customers

This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.

  • Pay, and you hold it.
  • Anyone can dethrone you for more.
  • Every claim stays on the record.

No claims on the record.

The other side

A family-run diner with four tables and no shareholders still prints a tip line on the check. Tipping runs on demand. Servers on a Friday night close out above what the salaried kitchen manager earns per hour, and they know it, which is why waitstaff campaign against being converted to flat hourly pay. Ownership takes none of it. The ceiling is theirs.
