inI told everyone in 2016 that tipping was dumb and servers should just get a real wage, then I worked 2 months at a diner in Toledo for $4.10 an hour
I thought working fast food was bad but $4.10 an hour plus 14 hours on my feet plus people stiffing me on tips broke me in like two weeks. The thing nobody tells you is that the tip is not just extra money, it is literally how you eat that week. I did the math once and after taxes I was making like $60 a shift on a good day and $25 on a bad one. You learn real quick that a $2 tip on a $38 check means somebody at that table decided you do not deserve to pay rent. I still think the whole system is broken but telling servers to just get a "real wage" when the people paying them fight every minimum wage hike is a joke. The fix is not to tell workers to quit, it is to make the bosses pay up.

inI thought my credit score dropped because of my new card, then I pulled all 3 reports and found a 6 year old medical bill from Denver
That front desk thing gets me because I've done the same, handed over my card, watched them run it, walked out thinking it's done. If they never sent a bill after that, how were you supposed to know? Makes you wonder how many people are out there with a small paid-off thing sitting in collections just because some billing code never got closed out.
