Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yes, I'm aware. Workers in certain restaurants make quite a lot, even more than some engineers with degrees I know.

But also, i dont want to make this about "X type worker shouldnt make more than Y type worker"... servers should be paid whatever they get paid. Just dont put the burden on the customer... i dont care if they make more than me, or my CEO or whatever.... just dont hassle me with the tipping decision.

a lot of that kind of "servers make more than X" discourse ends up belittling one worker with "unskilled labour" terminology. I dont believe in anything called unskilled labour.
