    People were able to make food at home or get food from places that didn’t involve sitting down and making tiped wait staff serve someone for free in 1900.

    You don’t have fast food, counter service locations, street vendors, or any of the other food sources that don’t involve sitting down and being served by someone whose primary income comes from tips?

      Really? I had no idea but I guess you are an expert?

      Honestly no, every one of those ask for tips now here in Canada.

        Is it the vast majority of their income like wait staff in the US?

        No? Then tipping is optional there and has nothing to do with what Trotsky did which was in the US when 100% of their income came from tips or current US waitstaff where the vast majority of their income still comes from tips.
