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酒吧/餐馆行业的小费服务员在新冠肺炎疫情爆发之前、期间和之后，即2020年3月开始关闭的食品店之后的经历。本研究的目的是从劳动者的角度更好地了解在职小费工作的过去和现在的经历以及对未来的期望。此外，我还将调查小费对家庭预算的重要性，以及当工人赚到小费和赚不到小费时的经历。这项研究将填补知识的一大空白，汇集就业、道德经济(Holmwood，2017)等社会学的辩论，包括送礼、权力关系和财务不安全(Warren，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).
