Don't understand what's classist about asking for payment in exchange for goods and services
Please get out of here with this. Nobody is taking the businesses side here, we just believe that servers should get paid and this is the unfortunate system we find ourselves in.It's really impressive that you've both convinced yourself that your system is working fine and that the employers are not the villains, and that poor people who can't afford to tip sometimes are. I'm going to hazard a guess and say that you're someone who is financially secure and has no perception of what being poor is like. That would certainly explain why you're satisfied with the status quo.
