First of all, it's usually not in their control how fast the food comes out, that's up to the kitchen staff. Second, it's not your business whether they make a living wage. I've been friends with many people working in the industry, and I even dated one for a while, and I came to the conclusion that there's a certain type of personality who is cut out for the job, and they tend to do quite well for themselves (often raking in several hundreds of dollars in tips PER DAY).

As for those who aren't, it's better for them to fail fast so they can move on to something else that they're better at, instead of continuing to work a job they hate just because it pays the bills. It's the same with salespeople, who also usually make a meager salary (sometimes none at all) and only get paid on commission when they make a sale. Some people thrive on this sort of challenge, others don't. Sure, my girlfriend would still complain when she went above and beyond for a table and still ended up without a tip for reasons entirely out of her control, but it didn't happen all that often.

You could make just as good a case that it’s the other way around.

A salaried employee makes the same amount of money whether they please people or not. Since pleasing people does not earn them extra income, they often won’t do it, and often their jobs even specifically require being an asshole (managers, supervisors, etc.) at least some of the time.

Someone who works for tips on the other hand can increase their pay quite a bit by pleasing people. And many professional assholes will actually tip quite well for good service, because being around other professional assholes all day can be quite tiring, and being generous for a change is a good way to unwind from that.

I hope so too

Weil die Korrespondenz zwischen “on” und “off” einen besseren Kontrast hat als “an” und “holen”.

Really hard to imagine this working

That’s the joke

For the non-Germans here, this can essentially be translated as follows:

Music: on

Jerking: off

For the OP: Digga, dieser Witz funktioniert offensichtlich besser in Englisch.

With joy.

Nah you won't, we'll just drink another cerveza and maybe a couple shots of mezcal and then we'll all be friends again.

If it helps, this isn't my own picture. I would probably use softshell tacos as well because I'm not a barbarian.

I've never had borracho beans but I googled them and I'm intrigued. Beer and bacon are some of my favorite food groups.

I may not have felt the touch of a woman in YEARS but even I am not autistic enough to play this game.

It's the hardshell tacos, isn't it.
