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.

    The bartenders I know ask for cash if possible, don't report their tips, and then photoshop their paystubs to reflect their actual income when they apply for rentals.

      Who the hell still uses pay-stubs for rental? Most places just do a background check and then pull your public W-2's from a reported employer. That is some mad skills to be like, 'here is my proof of employment and income, no don't compare it to my W-2'.

        A lot of boomers probably won't know how the hell to do a background check. They can barely operate computers in the first place.

        Small timers who own a bunch of houses. Failsons who got daddy's apartment but never put any work into it since it's basically a free money machine.

      That's so based but I gotta admit I fear the IRS too much to go that far lol
