Reply to comment by Rugfiend in eli5 why workers who make tips, have to pay back some of their tips a the end of the night? by 420goattaog
It's fair that kitchen staff get some portion of the tips, but it's not fair the way tip culture is used to keep people's wages lower than what they should be. That's why I used "supposedly".

No need for the downvote mate, your wording was terrible - it literally reads as 'supposedly fair' that back of house gets a share.
I absolutely agree that subsidising poverty wages with customer generosity is shameful, as is people needing social security top-ups to subsidise tax-dodging megacompanies' shit wages.

I didn't downvote you, just posted to explain. Yeah my wording was terrible, so thank you for the chance to explain it a little bit better.
