"change your laws" you say to the below minimum wage worker as you don't pay for the service you received. I don't remember voting to rely on the generosity of assholes to pay my rent. Server's in most restaurants barely scrape by, it's incredibly rare for them to "make bank". And before you say "work somewhere else" take a look at the current job market and see who's actually hiring.
you think you're the only country with an underprivileged class that had to fight for themselves? (or at least want to.... americans don't even get to the "wanting to" stage)
Where did I even imply that? The conversation is about the situation in America, specifically. Do you respond to "Black Lives Matter" with "All Lives Matter"?
Correct. Not every server is a bartender in a local place that gets a tip-out on top of their tips from reasonable people. Some are servers in a chain restaurants that serve the least grateful, understanding, and intelligent people around. I mean, I had a lady complain that her medium steak had pink in it. It's not the server's fault if the customer is a moron.
Get a proper job? Leave? Demand fair compensation by including gratuity in the sales price instead of allowing modern day slavery? Complacency with a system like that is damning

”The cash registers are ringing, the beer is flowing and the tables are full.
I live in KC. The restaurants are not full. I’ve seen article after article about how lodging reservations were low before the tournament and now that it’s started, no one is filling restaurants."
