Yes, because once companies aren’t forced to pay a minimum wage, they will surely start paying more than minimum wage. Who knew it’s been the law keeping people poor all this time.

My post was prompted by a culture shock moment. When I asked for an application for a front of house pizza place job, they said it paid 1/2 minimum wage. I then asked what was the average tip take home after shift. Was told depends on the server. No TY!

And I agree completely, tipping culture pisses me off, companies who refuse to compensate their employees while shoving that responsibility on to the customers are the problem. The suggestion to just eliminate minimum wage was what I replied to.

We are same page. Tippping culture has benefited me, but it's too volatile. End of day, it's an antiquated delivery system that is not dependable

Humble brag here. I get my eggs for $2.5 for a long time now b/c my mechanic and his wifey have chickens. Best eggs b/c yoke is proper yellow and shells brake easy ( store bought egg shells hard af )

Those eggs crack easy because your friend's birds aren't getting enough calcium in their diet. Oyster shells will do the trick.

I LOVE the easy crack/I won't suggest more calcium b/c its not my place to be picky about quality. However, I thank you for the education on this

Do they brake easy because they come from a mechanic?

Literally. Society will get so much better if people can feel safe and secure financially. Like things would get WAY better if the GOP and hood portion of dems would stop being so damn oppressive to the working and impoverished. Whatever at this point it’s a fucking pipe dream.

Exactally. Pay based on effort. That becomes a living wage. How is this hard?
