The racial history of tipping

[MindWars]

How did tipping—once considered "undemocratic"—become the norm in the U.S.?

The reason goes all the way back to slavery.




Well wth do you say to that piece of historical information . Things that make you go hmm

I was hoping this was a thread on cow tipping.

 

[Sunni Man]

Ask any waiter or waitress who is the worst tippers?

And they will tell you that black people are the most miserly when it comes to leaving a tip. ...

 

[candycorn]

If you can’t afford to tip…you can’t afford to eat out.

I was a server back in my young days (for about a month). I found all races had good tippers, bad tippers. The ones I thought were most hypocritical was the ones that left me a pre-printed Biblical tract as my “tip”….

One guy left me a business card with a note on the back saying I should call him when I finished College. Never called. Still have the card. The man’s name was Steve Jobs. Just kidding….but I do still have the business card.

The Racist History of Minimum Wage Laws | Chris Calton


In 1966, Milton Friedman wrote an op-ed for Newsweek entitled "Minimum Wage Rates." In it, he argued "that the minimum-wage law is the most anti-Negro law on our statute books." He was, of course, referring to the then-present era, after the far more explicitly racist laws from the slavery and segregation eras of United States history had already been done away with. But his observation about the racist effects of minimum wage laws can be traced back to the nineteenth century, and they continue to have a disproportionately deleterious effect on African-Americans into the present day.

The earliest of such laws were regulations passed in regards to the railroad industry. At the end of the nineteenth century, as Dr. Walter Williams points out, "On some railroads — most notably in the South — blacks were 85–90 percent of the firemen, 27 percent of the brakemen, and 12 percent of the switchmen."1

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, unable to block railroad companies from hiring the non-unionized black workers, called for regulations preventing the employment of blacks. In 1909, a compromise was offered: a minimum wage, which was to be imposed equally on all races.

Of course it did. You simple are too dense to understand what you are reading.

There is a tiered system where tipped employees are legally paid less.

On The Historically Racist Motivations Behind Minimum Wage


In 1925, a minimum-wage law was passed in the Canadian province of British Columbia, with the intent and effect of pricing Japanese immigrants out of jobs in the lumbering industry.

A Harvard professor of that era referred approvingly to Australia’s minimum wage law as a means to “protect the white Australian’s standard of living from the invidious competition of the colored races, particularly of the Chinese” who were willing to work for less.

In South Africa during the era of apartheid, white labor unions urged that a minimum-wage law be applied to all races, to keep black workers from taking jobs away from white unionized workers by working for less than the union pay scale.”
