This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Those are laws. If you want a law that bans tipping and assures a higher wage for waiters then sure, that's fine, but boycotting businesses won't get those laws made.

Cmon dude. All these people are saying we don't need these laws because waiters can just quit to pressure businesses to pay them well. So why do these laws even exist? You didnt even respond to the last post. I wont hold my breath.

Businesses that don't have convoluted pay schemes that involve tips will die, and businesses that advertise tipping isn't a thing will thrive, like has happened many times in the past.

You know what doesn't change anything? Forcing the people stuck in the system to get more stuck in the system..
