40. Hold Up, Why am I Paying Your Salary?

This one is a bit of a pain, mostly because it has spouted from an incredibly unjust system. The establishments have basically set up a nice little gig to have their customers straight up pay the salaries of the workers on top of the price of the food they bought, rather than it being included within the original price.

It’s not very nice, and it doesn’t feel very just or fair. But we must do it anyway because the servers are not the ones at fault. You can disagree with the system, but we shouldn’t take it out on the folks who are just trying to do their job. Waiting tables is a lot of work.
