Rather than paying a living wage, Broward college has decided to distribute food bags to their employees. 50 bags for 500 employees 👍
(They do regularly do this for students too)

A place I worked for always had “turkey drives” for the poorer families around thanksgiving. I wasn’t popular because i would ask why we as a company can’t pay every employee enough to cover a turkey but i never got an answer.
I ask the same shit whenever giant multi billion dollar companies canvass and harass me for money to feed the poor…
Like bitch, your company made more money then every customer currently in here for 5 minutes, then we collectively see in a year. They can fucking pay for it.
Goes for tipping too. Fuck you, pay fair. Dont ask me to support your staff with charity.
Fair enough, but still…the moment you order food from a server that doesn’t get paid a fair wage is the moment you are culpable. If you are eating out at a tipping establishment, not tipping is a dick move.
By all means, advocate for living wages for servers and vote for candidates who will try to do something about it…I certainly do. But make your own meals at home if you aren’t going to tip.
I cant remember the last time I went to an actual restaurant, that shit is way too expensive these days. I also dont live in America, and we have only a rudimentary tipping culture in comparison, but it is being pushed more and more because it is cheaper for the bosses. And I hate it.
Gotcha. And yeah, all I know is US restaurants. If this shit is becoming the norm where you are, then hell yeah, let the restaurant owners have a piece of your mind and fuck-all from your wallet.
Not only do they guilt you into contributing to their charity of choice, but the company also 1) get to be the ones whose name is attached to those donations, 2) gets a tax break as a result, and 3) talks themself up on their website about how much they donated to the cause.I learned something today about how businesses can’t actually claim point-of-sale charitable donations that show on a receipt for a tax write-off. Also, I learned about how no one can claim tax write-off for cash donations into a charity jar.
In the US they do not get a tax break for that unless they break the law. You can however take a tax deduction for it.

Seriously?? I’ve only ever seen turkey drives as a charitable thing for the community, not internal to a company. Craziness
