    A single-income waitress is not “the rich” unless you’re completely bonkers.

    It’s a top 20% income on the low end, and higher if she works at a high end establishment. If the top 20% isn’t rich, is anyone rich? Of course you can perpetually move the goalposts.

    You can argue that such a person is … or working class

    No doubt she is working class, but that says nothing about being rich or poor. The classes speak to capital ownership.

      You’re telling me that Barb at the IHOP is making top-20% money.

        There would be no reason for her to work there otherwise. It is not like every other restaurant and bar under the sun isn’t also begging for servers.
