it. It’s not just waiters and waitresses who rely on tips, It’s valet parking attendants, doormen, hotel staff etc. Before Covid I was traveling 300,000 miles a year and the reality of that life means a lot of tipping because you rely on people who work in the service industry.
One of my core convictions in life is the following. There is worth and purpose in every life and everybody who works hard and plays by the rules no matter what they do for a living deserves respect. It’s one of my top 3 Dad speeches to my kids and I mean every word of it
I am glad that you feel that way and wish everyone did. I am. 61 year old high school teacher with a masters degree that works a second job as a server in a hotel. We do what we have to do. It does not diminish my intelligence. Everybody deserves dignity
The people you speak of are our real essential workers. They haven’t had a living wage in decades, survive paycheck to paycheck, and cannot keep waiting for the government to decide they’re worthy of having healthcare and a full fridge. It’s a lovely speech, add in advocacy.
That is another problem with America - people having to rely on tips to make a living. Anywhere else they get a proper wage and tips are for extra special service. Foreign visitors don't understand that their tip is effectively paying the waitresses salary.
Feels very odd. Last time in Europe I was in Poland. Tips weren’t expected and if you did you might get a weird look.
I teach nursing at a university - waitresses are able to morph into the best nurses. It’s the multitasking.
This is funny. I worked the NJ diners for years in my early 20s. I started RN school when I was 29. I always said it relied in the same skills set. Prioritizing, efficiency, service and connection to people, and multitasking...also same shoes 
You lost me on this one. I respect skills. I'm not about to give my plumber an opportunity to perform my next colonoscopy. I'm not saying my plumber isn't a great person, whose opinions are worthy of respect. I'm just saying.
So AOC graduated cum laude from BU w/ a BA in international relations and economics and was an intern for Ted Kennedy. Maybe a better analogy would be your doctor working his way through med school as a plumber.
