Also, this is not how economic realities work. Unless maybe you can pull in people with zero experience in the field and serve food and still have customers, but at that point, are you a restaurant? And who wants to eat there?
This literally happened last year in France. Greedy tourist restaurant owners woke up to loads of workers not returning to their restaurants for the summer, having moved to other jobs the because the pay was too bad.
They were even on the radio and on the TV news, complaining about how entitled the young workers were and what were they doing to the tourism economy etc. The answer was extremely simple: pay us properly and we’ll take the jobs.
You won’t believe what happened next. (You will, it’s very obvious)
I’m all for paying people a living wage but these tourists and their symbolic actions will change nothing. Black Americans have been boycotting tipping culture for decades with no effect.
No, they’re not. They’re pushing on the workers who are not the ones in a position to offer fair wages. If they were on more stable economic footing, they would be able to strike and organize more easily so actively pushing on the workers directly is counter intuitive rather than pushing on the restaurants themselves. Even boycotting the restaurant completely would be more effective as that is also felt by the business owners.
Pardon me for having trouble finding pity for the Nazi country doing Nazi shit constantly. Maybe they can get a high paying job bombing little girls in other countries.
Yeah and OP is sort of adding insult to injury to the struggling workers. Besides this:
“Leftist” Europeans shouldn’t even have come to the USA in the first place but boycotted the world cup. Pirate the videos too. It’s a fascist police state atm. This is all rewarding the collaborators.
The USA should be banned from the Olympics too, just like Russia is, the US is currently conducting an illegal war of aggression on Iran and is guilty of aiding the genocide in Gaza, not to speak of previous illegal wars.
It’s like one of those slapstick scenes where someone throws a pie at the villain and hits an innocent bystander, then the villain fucks off while everyone else gets into a food fight amongst themselves.
One way to win would be to have a restaurant where the workers are paid and all tips are refused. Seems like there’s a big fat glaring hole in the market for such a thing.
Either that or people can just choose to not go to places with a default tip higher than they want to pay. This would ensure the business owner is getting $0 alongside the workers.
Seems like you’re just being cheap assholes to me. A couple idioms come to mind:
You stopped too soon.
I am not saying the workers are at fault. But their participation is part of the problem.
They won’t change. There are to many exploitable workers and to few opportunities.
This is just eurotrash looking down on other people.
Recent history suggests otherwise.

You described most fast food places. And yes, a regular restaurant would do that.

They paid better wages.
What a stupid take lol. They’re literally advocating for higher wages.

Sounds like you’re getting closer to mass strikes or even a general strike 🤞
No, they’re not. They’re pushing on the workers who are not the ones in a position to offer fair wages.

Yes, they are. They’re demanding that the companies pay a fair wage. There’s not that many words in the meme, lol.
‘Why don’t the third worlders make their country better instead of seeking aid?’ -every magat everywhere
Pardon me for having trouble finding pity for the Nazi country doing Nazi shit constantly. Maybe they can get a high paying job bombing little girls in other countries.
So fuck.the people who voted against said nazis.
Using your logic you should be happy the US bomb a theocratic nightmare country.
I’m happy when their soldiers crash they’re bombers, that’s for sure. Death to America.
The republican party thanks you for your recruiting efforts. Why don’t you tell us what country you’re from?
For real. If folks want to actually do something about it that’s a bit more productive than just euro-bitching: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/unite-here

I’m not sure why you think these are lefty people doing this.
