The reason I tip at sit down places or delivery isn’t because the work the server is doing is so difficult. Its because they’re allowed to legally be paid next to nothing due to the expectation of tips. I have close friends who work in that industry who wouldn’t get by if not for tips. We should abolish the idea of tipping as an excuse to lower wages, its ridiculous.
The real question is why restaurants in America are allowed to even do that… Pay them like everybody else and do away with tips. No other business is allowed to subsidize wages like that.
Oh no, just general classism. While the US has its share of misogyny, of course, rape culture being the forefront, it’s actually not that bad compared to the average first-world country in that regard, and almost all misogynistic views in the united states are exclusively in service to capital owners control over society. This includes abortion, the wage gap, and the entirety of the beauty industry.
Pink capitalism is a huge part of American society, and is the only reason women have any rights, given it is slightly more profitable on average to let women earn their own money to spend on capitalism, instead of solely acting as support and production of human capital.

If you ever wonder why something is stupid in the united states, 99% of the time the answer is anti-black racism.
In this case, it is part of the 99%
Is the other 1% misogyny?
