Back when I was much younger I
went regularly to a café for
coffee. They had four waitresses.
One did 90% of the work while the
other three visited (stood around
and talked).

I had a topic in mind for today’s piece, and was set on writing about it when my roommate came home from his new job as a server. Our subsequent conversation blew me away because despite my roommate’s ardent support of Democrats, and Bernie Sanders specifically, he made an inadvertent argument against socialism.

I sat on our big red couch in awe as he said the following (not exact wording):

The job is really nice. The only annoying thing about it is that our tips are pooled. It kind of makes you wanna work less hard because you’re not getting your tips directly.”

I smirked, and simply said:

“Tip pooling disincentivizes hard work.”
