Most “unskilled labor” is heavily skill dependant. You wouldn’t want a chef, builder or plumber who didn’t know what they were doing. And for production: machinists, mechanics and foremen make or break profit with their skills.

So what’s a better name for these jobs?

    I agree. Having people’s compensation rely on tips is a very problematic mindet. Glad we don’t have that here.

      I agree but if I went to a country that expected it I wouldn’t suddenly choose not to participate in some arrogant, self serving display despite knowing that all I’m doing is ruining someone’s day/hurting them financially to fuel my own sense of moral superiority without changing a goddamn thing.

      And I certainly don’t feel the need to shit on someone’s job.
