I know college educated people who work at restaurants because they made more money there.

I haven’t eaten at a restaurant, and COVID closed many, is it really essential?

Wow, 36k a year! What a livable wage! Even your cherry picked example doesn't really prove your point, but the vast majority of other service workers are treated worse. And if you're truly arguing society could function if we just deleted all jobs with poor working conditions, you're delusional. We haven't even mentioned factory workers in Asia yet.

Did you really just say that we should shut down all restaurants? I’m assuming not so it would be nice if you could explain more.

Where did you get that or “all”? They aren’t essential and I don’t care what happens to them the same way I don’t care about bars I never went to shutting down.
