https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/workforce/casa-bonita-workers-demand-return-tipping#:~:text=Shortly before opening%2C Casa Bonita’s,wage of %2430 per hour.

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.

    spreadsheet workers and boomers

    Spreadsheet workers make like $40k a year, less than $30 an hour. Many boomers are poor, working class and have been exploited their whole lives viciously (not the majority obviously, but you’re being callous). Why are you trying to pit workers against each other and destroy solidarity by saying some deserve more consideration than others? Really not digging the condescending arrogance of your tone and anti-worker solidarity position

        “spreadsheet workers” are working class. Working class is not a cultural affect, it’s merely being proletarian which all wage workers who don’t own the means of production or make passive income are.

        If you think working class only means a guy with a hard hat or restaurant worker, I have to sadly break the news you have internalized chud propaganda. Many of these types are petty bourgies and not working class as well, as they own their own contracting business or own part of the restaurant or whatever.

        “Middle class” insofar as it exists meaningfully in a Marxist sense, is a mixed prol-petty bourgie class with interests in both increasing wages and increasing housing prices, stock market prices, company profits, etc. It, again, is not a cultural affect describing people who sit down while they work.

          My bad. I meant people who make a comfortable living but don’t own the means of production or make passive income. Nothing to do with chud propaganda, just a didn’t use the right term.

            “spreadsheet workers” aren’t PMC to begin with - the PMC refers to the stratum that manage flows of capital. people who write spreadsheets are paid bottom-barrel wages to track capital (in various forms) but they generally have no control over it.

              Lol I didn’t know these terms were so stringent. I thought somebody just made up spreadsheet workers, which could definitely include most pmc people I know based on the description alone.
