Shortly before opening, Casa Bonita’s new owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to eliminate tipping and instead pay workers a flat wage of $30 per hour.

Now I could be wrong, but getting a an hourly wage as a restaurant worker is FAR better than relying on tips. I feel like either workers in this situation are too obsessed with tips or there’s huge context missing.

      Really got their finger on the pulse of American culture and deffinitly not just reactionary shitheads if they’re making a whole special about how underrepresented straight white males are in American media.

        I was ready to shit on it but I think they actually had an okay take, Kyle (who is usually more of the voice of the creators) mentioned increased representation was good, when it was actually done with care and not just lazy skintone swapping, he mentioned Miles Morales was great. But I think the special overall could give rhetorical fuel to reactionaries.

          Your average reactionary South Park fan already had their opinion on representation in media and likely only heard that side of the episode.

        “One the one hand it’s nice for minorities when they see stories about people who look like them on TV but on the other hand white males never complained about representation when they went from 99% to 96% of characters on TV so I guess if you think representation is good you’re the same as a nazi. The important thing is to never firmly believe in anything or else you’re the real loser, regardless if that thing is good or bad.”
