I think I watched a video about a Hertz representative who wouldn’t rent a car in Florida or some other shithole to someone with a New Mexico driver’s license because they didn’t have their passport
Nope, if the patron has chosen to do business in a stupid shitty country like mine they should pay a reasonable tip or they’re an asshole. I agree that it’s a completely stupid system that needs change, but screwing the server for a stupid culture they have no control over is not cool.
Just because they should, doesn’t mean they must. There is a legal obligation to pay the bill, but there is no legal obligation to tip the server.
I’d argue that in NA, the tip is expected and basically the default, and you have to do something wrong to lose that tip. Racism and/or legal status of the server is not a valid reason, though.
Oh yeah, I didn’t say they’d be arrested, I said they’d be an asshole. Not only are there tons of perfectly legal ways to be an asshole in America, it’s usually a very effective way of personally enriching oneself.
But, at the end of the pay period, if pay+tips is less than $7.25/hr, the employer legally must increase the pay to make sure they reach regular minimum wage. (But $7.25 is still far below a living wage in most areas.)
Yes but US conservatives don’t seem to know it.
A lot of them aren’t even aware that New Mexico is a US state.
Fun fact: Even less people are aware that New Mexico was named so centuries before the country of Mexico was named.
Ahem…that particular state is now known as New America!!!

Damn so insult and wotholding pay just to make a point. Wow.
It’s a racist message, but where was the withholding of pay?
Isn’t minimum wage lower in place where workers receive tips as part of their wage? Because if so, I’d say not tipping is equal to not being paid wage
The patron only has a responsibility to pay for thier meal, not subsidize the wages of the servers. Places outside of the US have figured that out.
Not tipping isn’t withholding pay or payment.
Edit: tipping culture is a failure of worker protections.
It’s pay in the US. Your country’s customs are not universal.

Maybe you should riot in the streets constantly.
Probably so
Yes. US federal tipped minimum wage is $2.13/hr.
But, at the end of the pay period, if pay+tips is less than $7.25/hr, the employer legally must increase the pay to make sure they reach regular minimum wage. (But $7.25 is still far below a living wage in most areas.)
Someone didn’t render unto Caesar.
