feel like I’m encounterimg tip requests with increasing frequency, but not jazzed about the prospect of adding a 20% charge at every point of sale.

    their paycheck is mostly just a record of their 2.13/hour being used entirely to pay taxes.

    this varies by state. slightly less worker-hostile states only have a minimum wage carveout for the disabled but not for servers

      So fucking heinous and evil. The only way this is “less worker-hostile” is because the vast majority of the states also allow disabled people to be wage-enslaved for less than the legal minimum in addition to servers; and even then, in a saner version of this exploitative anti-worker world that would be entirely backwards and the working class of society would have already struggled to decide not to allow abuse of disabled people for cheap labor first before moving onto others. Everyone responsible for drafting these laws with those carveouts and using disabled people as cheap nearly-unpaid labor like that deserve to be summarily shot by the Peoples’ army, frankly.
