With a commieleft slant or a fascistright slant ? <| sep |> I am thankful for recovery . It can be painfully slow and feel so , so out of reach , but it ' s possible . <| sep |> it really is . It really sucked when i worked as a waitress . WOuld HAVE to declare a minimum of 10 % of the totals of all of your tables bills as income , even if you didn ' t recieve that much . THAT is why people are shamed into paying their servers . Because it really is part of the meal price . a server gets nearly no pay check most places , because it goes to taxes on what they supposedly make . edit to add Certainly makes those places tht add mandatory gratuity make a lot more sense , doesnt it ? also , that was well over a decade ago , about a decade and a half . its possible the creep from 10 % to 15 % minimum expected tip may be because it has changed how much they get taxed on
