They do, their alternatives are being homeless, or working at another company that’s very likely managed the exact same way.

The lack of a social safety net or sufficient welfare, empowers exploitative labour conditions.

I was once poor and facing homelessness and I intentionally avoided tipped positions and only applied for jobs where I was paid more than $2.10/hr. I got one of those jobs.

I’m not insinuating that everyone can do this, but I think most people can, considering the vast majority of mininum-wage jobs are not tipped-wage jobs. I don’t think most people feel forced to take a tipped-wage job.
