A TikTok video posted by a bartender in Texas has gone viral, highlighting the low wages paid to service industry workers and the importance of tipping. In the video, Aaliyah Cortez breaks down her paycheck, which shows that she worked 70 hours and was paid just $2.13 an hour, resulting in a paycheck of $9.28 after taxes. Cortez stressed the importance of tipping for service workers, whose take-home pay can be incredibly low due to the industry's practice of paying low wages.
She hopes her video will raise awareness about this issue and encourage customers to be more generous with their tips. Cortez's post has received over 99,000 likes and 3,058 comments, with many people expressing support for her message.
