I made a ton of money during high school and college as a waitress/barmaid/chambermaid in tips. Pay sucked but tips rocked. Especially since tips were under the table (70s and 80s). I was a high school junior pulling in $200 a night during summer at the shore waitressing and as a barmaid. Working 6 hours 4 nights a week at Penn State during college pulling in hundreds of dollars each night. In tax free tips. And we didn’t have to share tips then. We gave a percentage to the bus boys but that was it.
It’s far different now a days. Tips are taxed or perceived tips are taxed and shared so everyone gets the same (at least here).
Everyone has to make a “living wage” so no one does.Socialism at its finest.
Where is here?
