    Your Waitress Is Not On The Menu

    BY AARON WYSOCKI

    “Advocates say by abolishing tipped minimum wage, US could help reduce sexual harassment in the food industry.

    Nakima Jones is done staying quiet.

    She doesn’t want to wear ‘sexy’ shirts to work, to have her young son plead with her to change out of the tight shirt that’s her uniform as she leaves for work. She is done worrying about her looks, fretting about whether she looks sexy enough to attract attention – and tips.

    “I don’t have time for that,” says Jones, who works as a waitress in New York. “I am here to make a career out of the restaurant business, which I truly love. I’ve been a restaurant worker for 13 years. I am here to make a stand for the people who are afraid to talk [about sexual harassment] because they think they are going to lose their jobs. And sometimes that happens – they talk and they lose their job.” *

    Cenk Uygur (https://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) and Ana Kasparian (https://www.twitter.com/AnaKasparian) break it down on The Young Turks.

    1. It Pushes Waiters Into Poverty (And Helps Keep Them There)

    2. Servers Make Less Per Hour Than They Used To...

    3. ...And People Tip Less Now Than They Used To, Too

    4. Abolish Tipping, And Customers Will Still Spend The Same Amount

    5. Paying Waiters A Low Hourly Wage Can Be Bad For Restaurants' Profits

    6. When People Tip, They Discriminate

    7. Tipping Culture Is An Incubator For Widespread Sexual Harassment

    8. It's Arbitrary

    9. At High-End Restaurants, Tipping Creates Income Inequality Between Waiters And Kitchen Staff
