Reply to comment by [deleted] in News 12 Poll: Should Connecticut raise servers' wages? by jaydecay123
Why do you want servers to earn less? Are you that selfish?

Server wages should be raised to be somewhat commensurate to an average if what is typical after including tips, and then tipping should be fully abolished. Tipping is a perverse system that puts undue social pressure/burden on patrons and servers. It also makes it very difficult for servers to qualify for loans (cars, homes, etc.), since they don't have verifiable income, which this would solve.

The income is only not verifiable if they don't claim it on their taxes.
You should try talking to people who work in the industry & get their opinion.

The income is not considered applicable for larger loans, which was the intent of my comment. My apologies for the incorrect semantics.
