Getting fired for shitty reasons under the disguise of performance is not some unique problem to waitresses, you just put them on a mile high pedestal.

You are still also glossing over everything else I said, for obvious reasons. Like expecting tips but don't give them to those who make less under a perpetuated and very useful myth the server/waiter/etc made less than the bag boy at Target.

Dude, drop this "pedestal" crap. This isn't an Olympic sport where we need to decide who has it worse.

One party works for unchangeable crap wages, and employers often forbid tips. They need a higher minimum wage and better treatment.

One party has an even lower wage, but if they sing, dance, and cluck like a chicken well enough to please the fickle clientele, they might make more, even than group A. They ALSO need a higher minimum wage and better working conditions.

Literally nobody who supports better pay for wait staff, or the end of tipping culture, OR tipping your waiter until said culture actually ends, is also turning around and saying "fuck minimum wagie plebs; let them SUFFER!"

Literally the only point of contention is whether it's ethically OK to let millions of people starve on $2.13/hr wages, for years, while we "protest" by continuing to expect them to sing and dance and bring us our cheeseburgers, all while still funneling money to the parties creating the situation in the first place.

If you work retail and honestly think waiting tables is such a great fuckin deal, feel free to quit your job and go pursue it.
