Answer the question then.
Name one other job (that isn’t in the food service industry) where the buyers subsidize the worker’s salary voluntarily. To the point where, without tips, the worker would NOT make minimum wage.
Are you a child or a bot?
Answer the question.
Name one other western country (that isn’t the United States) where the residents have to use the imperial system. To the point where, without the imperial system, the resident would NOT be able to understand posted signs and measures.
When you answer my question, you'll have the answer to yours. Asking the same question again, or refusing to answer mine, will be proof that you can't read, or can't think, or both.
Already answered yours.
Night club.
Your turn buddy.
Nope, wrong. We established that's not the same: if other tipped positions don't count the same as servers, then night club security doesn't count the same as TSA. That's why we moved to a more direct question:
Name one other western country (that isn’t the United States) where the residents have to use the imperial system. To the point where, without the imperial system, the resident would NOT be able to understand posted signs and measures.
I'm assuming you're a child, because bots are better than this now. Unless you're one of those old 90s era bots. Either way, not worth consideration.
Name one other job (that isn’t in the food service industry) where the buyers subsidize the worker’s salary voluntarily. To the point where, without tips, the worker would NOT make minimum wage.
Bad bot
Not a bot.

Only (old and outdated) bots have reading comprehension this bad and comment the same irrelevant points repeatedly, after being shown repeatedly that those points are irrelevant.
It would be profoundly embarrassing for you if you aren't a bot, you would have to be literally mentally disabled to continue as you have. To preserve my faith in the baseline intellectual capabilities of humanity, I will continue to make the graceful assumption that no-one could be so mentally deficient.
Bad bot.
Not a bot.
Answer the question. Oh right, you can’t. If you could have, you would have already. You got pissy when I answered one of yours so you moved the goalposts, dug your heels in, and are now being obstinate.
The standard playbook of the republicans; Gaslight, Obstruct, Project.
I’m done wasting my time on you. Enjoy being wrong.

Bad bot
I answered yours, you moved the goalposts, so I shifted my question to match your goalposts.
The standard playbook of Republicans: cheat the working class out of every dime possible. Trump doesn't pay his contractors after they do work for him either.
And since you can’t Google, Liberia
Since you can't read
