Pasts, presents and futures of hospitality workers: The effects of Covid-19 on the front of house tipped server.

这项研究的目的是调查在2020年3月开始关闭食品店后，在COVID-19爆发之前、期间和之后，酒吧/餐馆行业的小费服务员工的经历。本研究的目的是从员工的角度，更好地了解过去和现在的小费服务工作的经验和未来的期望。此外，我还将调查小费对家庭预算的重要性，以及工人们在挣小费和不挣小费时的经历。这项研究将填补知识的巨大空白，将就业社会学的辩论，道德经济（霍尔姆伍德，2017），包括礼物，权力关系和金融不安全（沃伦，2015）。

The aim of this research is to investigate the experience of tipped serving employees in the bar/restaurant industry; before, during, and in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, following the closure of food outlets that began in March of 2020. The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the past and present experience of the tipped serving job and future expectations from a worker's perspective. Also, I will investigate the importance of tips to household budgets and the experience of workers when they do and don't earn them. This research will fill a substantial gap in knowledge, pulling together debates from the sociologies of employment, moral economy (Holmwood,2017) including gifting, power relations, and financial insecurity (Warren, 2015).
