The workers would rather work for tips. You can hide a lot of income if your wage is primarily cash.
I'm pretty sure tipping them in the app does not get them a cash payout. Either way, supporting tax evasion doesn't seem like the best way to get people fair wages.
You are right, and it frustrates me.
I could never be in a job where I didn’t know I was going to have a consistent check. I work the same hours, let’s say, and because I didn’t get enough tips one week, I’m now behind on something or another. I truly think people are crazy to not want steady income.
