I disagree. I think every full time job should pay a living wage. There's no reason someone should work 40 hours a week and not be able to pay their bills and feed himself.
Should tipping be abolished?

There was no mention of "full time" or 40 hours in the post of yours I quoted.
Any job could be full time if an employee wanted it to be and the employer agreed.
What bills? A phone bill? A mortgage?
There is no reason to assume that every job is taken for survival.
There could be a barter agreement

I get paid 3.25 an hour as a server. I live on tips. I really feel bad for bussers who get 1 percent of my revenues and of every other server on the floor that night. Either way they make 5 an hour and if it was a slow night or if there were multiple bussers on the floor they make squat.

Back in 2001 it was.

$400 a week would be a $10/hr job to, and that's before taxes. Federal min wage is $7.25. So most min wage workers would only get between $200-$300

Its a good starter job. Imagine what they could make if they became servers at a fancier place that has bills $50-$100 for a family meal.
Also in 2001 there were more jobs and opportunities for rising in the work force.
Even doctors have to take reduced pay at a nonprofit internship for a year or two before qualifying for the big bucks.

Medical intern is a term used in some countries to describe a physician in training who has completed medical school and has a medical degree, but does not yet have a full license to practice medicine unsupervised.
As of 2010, the average income of a surgical intern was $47,000 a year. But location directly affects salaries. For example, general surgical interns at Stanford School of Medicine are paid $51,251 a year.
Each of the specialties in medicine has established its own curriculum, which defines the length and content of residency training necessary to practice in that specialty. Programs range from three years after medical school for internal medicine to five years for surgery to seven to eight years for neurosurgery.

Why should customers be expected to make up the difference in a living wage via tips instead of the employer?
Nature of the business with widely accepted practice of tipping. To insure prompt service (tips). It will never go away and it's one thing the republipukes are not responsible for.
The thing that is incorrect about that sign is, is that the employer must make up the difference if the barista's tips reported, do not make it to minimum along with the sub-minimum wage. That already is a law. So if no one is tipped? Employer is responsible.

Yeah it is, when people try to take advantage of others? That's how laws are made.
The poor behavior and abusive practices of employers of the past, lead to employment laws and a little something called minimum wage.

You'd know, from your own minimum wage job.

You better jump back on the phones and try sell something, commission is the mission.

Do you support refusing service based on skin color. When you open a business that serves the public you will serve all.
Why do you what people kicked out of hotels, restaurants, stores...etc based on the color of skin, religion or sexual preference? Why do you hate civil rights ?

Your statement is flatulent. I suspect somebody needs to ensure you've changed your underwear according to the standards they've set for you. It's for "your own good".

All human rights spring from the idea that no person has superior rights to another.
If I don't have the right to force you to associate with me and reciprocably you don't have that right either, nobody else does.
So, my ideas are based in consistency. Yours are based in inconsistency.
My ideas hold that human relations should be on a voluntary basis of the participants or they shouldn't occur.
You're okay with forcing one party to associate with you, using the same tactics as a slave holder or a rapist, that being an application of force or a threat of it.
Since no black person, or no white person etc. has anymore right than any other person, they all possess the right to choose their own human interactions don't they ?
You keep erroneously trying to conflate my point of view into some kind of racism, when it isn't. It is a consistent application of honoring another persons choices, that's all.
You just said this 4 or 5 pages ago.
Where's the citation for this?

So not all jobs should be indentured servitude, just SOME of them.
I'd call you an idiot but I'd hate to insult them.

Oh, here we go; 'charity' brought up to correct the imbalance.
Are you fucking serious? So now not only does a person have to suffer the indignity of working for wages that don't sustain them, they must now go BEG someone to make up the difference?!
You're a patrician tool.
