It’s amazing how well these people can figure out how to say “we want to be lazy and get paid” in such a fancy way.

Some of his customers want the option of tipping on top of the $15-an-hour wage, but “part of what we are trying to convey is we don’t like the history of tipping. We don’t want this to be a thing. And if we’re truly going to move away from this, we have to eliminate it, even if you’re perceiving it to be more voluntary than before.

We have a kid that works at a mid priced restaurant while she's in school. She makes a lot more than $15/hr most days.

He should ask the people earning tips if they would rather $15/ hour or the current min wage plus tips. The results will shock him.

Must be when those horrible "coarse" customers come in

Add the pandemic-era practice of coarse customers sexually harassing servers by demanding that they remove their mask as a condition of tipping, and we can see that this practice gives people too much power over workers.

At those prices you sure she ain't?
Haha :wink:

This is retarded. I can remember working nights before LSU home football games in college and bringing home upwards of $500+ in tips. Sure wasn’t bad for 5 hours of work.
Hell I’ve reached a pretty solid career salary now and it still isn’t close to the $100/hr I was averaging on those nights.

Look at that cuck. Do you think he cares more about his workers or the optics of his stance? Best of luck to his staff...they will need it.

The only job I've ever had working for tips I averaged way more than $15 an hour and that was 15+ years ago. Who knew I was a victim of racism back then as a young white man?
Posted on 3/6/21 at 8:36 am to jaytothen
I'm all for it.

There is 1 point that most people miss in the $15/hour argument.
$2.125/hour is manageable by the restaurant/business for non-peak hours.
Any server or worker knows that there may be an hour a day (or two or three depending upon the day) where the restaurant isnt busy yet.
$15/hour would be paying staff to stand around (i.e. the restaurant would have to intentionally understaff and service would go to crap at the start and end of shifts on busy days).
The entire concept of tipping allows restaurants to staff and be ready for an inconsistent flow of business that provides table service. Employees make enough in the busy time to satisfy the full hours of employment. And restaurants can afford a "full staff" without having to predict that tour bus that pulls into the parking lot.
The alternative of $15 per hour puts the full cost on the customer to pay a restaurant for the bartender who arrives 3 hours early to setup for the day and the bartender who stays 90 minutes late to clean everything to close (repeat that for waiters as well. Repeat that for the 5-10 waiters who arrive early to be ready for a pop that may or may not happen).
The concept of tipping is a much more efficient method of the customer paying only for their meal and rewarding their direct experience.

You know who doesn't tip?

Yep. Everyone who advocates for eliminating tipping doesn’t realize servers make way more than $15 an hour in most places. You’d have to bump the menu entirely up 20%+ and pass that to the servers to make it even.

They make $15 an hour now, likely much more, but only report about $5 an hour. Now they will bring home less because all $15 will be reported and the store will raise prices to offset its costs. I guarantee waitresses and waiters would rather work at a tip restaurant and people would rather go to a restaurant where level of service is good, so wait staff actually care enough to get a tip.

Or more plainly said. We want to be able to offer shitty service and still get paid
Posted on 3/6/21 at 9:14 am to jaytothen
No wonder certain segments of the population don't tip well consistently.
Posted on 3/6/21 at 11:26 am to jaytothen
The people who don’t tip or think tipping $2-5 on a $100 bill, is another fine example of shitty parenting from a single mother household who had Grandma raise them.
