Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.

"I chose a job where I work a 6 hour shift and expect to get 20% or more of whatever you're arbitrarily paying because I carried over three plates and a couple drinks. For some reason, I get paid more if you ordered the $60 Steak and Lobster instead of the $18 hamburger and fries. I will actively fight against the removal of tips in exchange for a normal hourly wage, because I make way more from tips than what I'd make as a person who walks across a room carrying a plate".
You mean that was the only job they could find? Ignoring everything else that's wrong with your comment you gave the ignorance away with your second word
Spoken like a true server or relation of one. It's a remedial job that supports business owners from having to pay fair wages, and has since festered out into "I poured you a coffee" or "I made you fastfood". Tip culture is a cancer.
Poverty is a choice, irrelevance is allbut guaranteed. The dragons' impenetrable fortresses are nearing completion, though they remain pleasantly surprised at their prospects of more perfect control over their destinies than even their most adept forefathers had ever yet captured. Will must henceforth be paid for in the most precious of tokens (faith, peace, hope, sanity, pride, dignity, rage, flesh). We will grow and adapt to survive even as it pushes us to unraveling. Any minute contributions, no matter how unrecognized or delayed in fruition, have all culminated to this moment, and this process of incalculable chaotic combinations, interactions, and exchanges unfolding never stops, even as our minds, bodies, and spirits need periodic rest for rest, regrowth, reflection. Remember to always do your best to stay saucy.
