    A steady wage might either be greater than or less than an amount someone is currently receiving in tips, depending on the amount. Under poor conditions, the common tendency is defensive, of acting on an assumption that any change only would degrade conditions further.

    The inclination to defend the status quo is natural even if also irrational.

      Makes me think of the King if the Hill where Hank finds out the exclusive deal of paying MSRP for all his trucks over the years was really someone he respected as a fellow professional taking advantage of him.

      It’s hard to admit you’ve let yourself get played, and we shouldn’t ever get upset at the employees for being fooled. They put trust in someone that gave them an opportunity is all. But the boss knows what he’s doing.
