“Of course, I got tips,” she said. “But this is what I got for my hourly. This is why you tip.”
Many of the people who saw her video were very sympathetic and supportive of her.
“I work in California as a waitress, and 3 months ago, I got a $0 check. Asked my boss why, and this is the reason! We live on our tips!!!,” one commenter wrote.
Another wrote something similar, “I can’t believe $2.13 hr is still the standard wage for this. That was the wage when I was a teenager many years ago. That’s insane.”
Unfortunately, though, not everyone who saw her video agreed with her point of view–many of whom claimed that she refused to show how much she makes in tip money.
“I love how she went the extra mile to make sure not to show the “Cash Tips” amount!,” one person commented.
That was just one of many comments saying the same thing. Someone even went as far as essentially saying that it’s not the customer’s problem, so stop complaining.
“I’m so overhearing entitled hospitality staff. Customers don’t owe your your wage. Take it up with the companies ripping you off,” the viewer wrote.
While this may be true that the source of the problem lies in the company itself, the problem is still perpetuated by customers. So next time you’re at a restaurant or bar, throw down some cash for your server or bartender. No, it won’t kill you, and you actually may be helping them more than you know.
