Have you ever been close to anyone who makes tips?
Yeah, I'm sure that plenty of incompetent people are unsuccessful at working for tips...but there's always a big percentage of people who are incompetent at every job out there.
But the people who kick ass in the service industry? You try to put them on a salary and take away their tips and they would revolt.
A great bartender or waitress makes GREAT cash money because they are damn good at taking care of the customers.
I suppose that slack asses like this guys employees...would look at making the reliable paycheck as "better" than having to earn their tips.
But the good workers in the service industry make a LOT of money in tips. They would NEVER want a pay raise and no tips.
This is obvious "big govt." horseshit that is being spread so that the IRS can get it's greedy hands on more money.
People making tips in cash don't declare all their tips...just enough to keep the feds off their asses. But take those tips away from them and then they are on a shit salary and getting their money TAKEN from them before they even get their shitty check at the end of the week.
I'm telling you...real service industry people would never want to give up their tips and take a salary. And if they were forced to, I guarantee you that they would not be doing a "better" job like this fairytale story tries to make us believe.
