Can’t afford to be sick. Gotta go beg customers to pay my salary.

I mean aren’t we all begging someone to pay our salary? Isn’t that capitalism?

The rest of the world has this figured out. Somehow we’ve bootlicked our way into making a paying customer also my boss.

Customers are happy to tip for good service. Give good service, you get a good tip. Money for services. No begging involved. Do you look down on all hard working industries like this?
