Not really a gear grinder, more of a Andy Rooney-esque , “have you noticed” that restaurant/food service workers have become the new martyrs of the media and the woke? They constantly shame people for not tipping enough yet at the same time print articles about some random waitress getting $2,000 tip from a customer on a $20 order. I delivered pizza on the side for extra dough in my 20s back in the late 90s/early 2000s and wild easily pull in $100+ in tips on a 4-5 shift+ made like $5.00/hr. I really do not feel sorry for the attractive girl delivering my food at Outback; I am guessing she does quite well.

As always has been the case and what I even tell my employees in my industry today if you do not like what you are making you should make yourself more desirable by your employer. If that fails find a job elsewhere
