I shall date myself… ugh, but way way back in the latter part of the 1980s while working my way through college as a waitress, married with a small child, we used my tips to pay the pediatrician for our first borns well baby checks. We had such a good pediatrician but no real money and no insurance either. And although my husband was a college graduate with an engineering degree, it was 1986 and it was not easy to find a job, the economy was not great. My husband didn’t get an engineering job for a full year, so he worked at SeaTac and loaded cargo planes for 5 bucks an hour and I made 3.85 an hour. We needed those tips! So yeah, you go girl. She knows what’s it like to struggle. And I dont’ mind paying more for people to make more, that’s the right thing. We make more now, so should everyone else.
