    It’s not only legal it’s effectively encouraged. Capitalism is a race to the bottom, regardless of consequences.

        They don’t help, sure, but this shit happens anyway in capitalism. It’s an inevitability.

          Yeah it sucks how money flows to the people who can use it most under capitalism, without anyone having to force it to happen.

        They’re being paid minimum wage. It’s not a great job.

        Edit: And apparently they split their tips with the people working in the restaurant too, so I really feel like this is just exploitation.

          The minimum wage in the Phillipines is around $10 a day.
