      The more I think about it the more I think @AlexandraErin is right It's not that it's impossible to keep on feeding people and keep "the economy" going while everyone is out of work It's that they're terrified of ever admitting that it IS possible

      You can tell by the frivolity of the things the angry consumers want Was it EVER actually NECESSARY that you get someone to wait on you at a restaurant, to take your order and bring your food to you with a winning smile, instead of you picking up takeout Of course not

      Like most service industry jobs it's a bullshit job, it's makework Nobody needs the actual work to be done in order to live, it's a job that exists because they tell you you don't deserve to live unless you make someone richer than you happy enough to tip you

      The whole modern economy is constructed from bullshit jobs where the wealthy sit on their piles of money and tell you "If you make me happy enough you get rent and groceries for another month"

      And they trick people into thinking this is just how "the economy" works, that it's the same division of labor that ancient tribes used to cooperate to take down wooly mammoths or whatever It's nonsense

      The fact is very little would change if you went and got your own food from the kitchen like a big boy and we just took your money and gave it to the underclass of service workers for "doing nothing" The "value they created" for you was just you being petulant

          What they're terrified of is the government realizing this is life or death and forcing the coffers of the wealthy open to keep the population alive for three months *without* doing all the bullshit jobs and people realizing "Hey, this actually does work"

          "Why don't we do this all the time? Why don't we make it so everyone has a constant level of 'base pay' and tips really are just an extra reward for good service? Why don't we treat service work like what it is - doing you a *favor*, not performing your God ordained function"

          They'd really rather risk death than risk that change in attitude, to them their position in society as the generous dispensers of the right to survive in return for haircuts and shoeshines and immediately refilling the bread every time is their whole identity

          Just look at how many people claim that self services restaurants are somehow NOT "Real True Restaurants"? Why? If the self employs competent cooks with access to the quality ingredients, the foos will be as good if I have to carry it on a tray or if its brought to my table

          A bunch of customers grabbing food off the pass would be a nightmare for all involved.

          No, the value was the experience of having a nice meal and then tipping 20%. Do you just hate restaurants?

          Although to be fair, Cali does not have the wretched wage exception for tipped jobs. Waiting tables in Arkansas is a different storyhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped_wage#State_law …

          I’m gonna interject here to add that there are people who can’t cook for themselves for one reason or another (people with disabilities, lack of functional/safe equipment, etc). Food service IS a necessity for them. Whether it needs our current setup, idk, but be inclusive.
