Tipping The Wealthy

TIPPING has always seemed like a strange custom to me, for some reason. I'm not sure why. On the surface, its harmless enough, and has advantages. I've always vaguely wondered whether business owners and servers ever fight over tips, or if employees often do. Turns out, they do, as I could have guessed. In general, restaurant owners have always felt that they should get all the tips; servers, people we used to call "waiters" and 'waitresses" have always believed that they should be the beneficiary of the large largesse. All across the fruited plain, billions of businesses work out their own system. The general public tends to support the worker, and, traditionally, so has the fed gov, in the form of Department of labor "suggestions". Now, all that's set to change, as the Trump administration Labor Department is wanting to issue a reg requiring al tips be declared the property of business ownership, right from the start Corporate America, once again, rearing its ugly head, acting through its puppets, Trump and the conservative capitalistic republicans, so friendly to big business and big wealth, from whom republicans get their money, and oh so unfriendly to America's huge an struggling poor working class. There ahs already been expressed opposition to this idea, so, it may never become reality. let's hope not. if it does, my tipping days, such as they are, are over. business owners like to claim that it they could control the tips, they could redistribute them more fairly, and appropriately, If you believe that, I've a parcel of land in central Florida I'll sell you. Business owners can predictably be counted on to distribute their money straight into their own accounts. that's what makes them good business people.
