Holy shite waiters and waitresses just made out like bandits tonight
quote:


D.C. voters backed Initiative 77 Tuesday, raising the city's minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025, up from the current level of $12.50, and phasing out the $3.33 an hour minimum wage for tipped workers. With just under 90 percent of the precincts reporting in at press time, the margin was 55-44 percent.



Margin pretty small for such a lib city

They should ask Seattle how that worked out.

Now a sandwich & side lunch will cost $18 in DC.

Good luck staying in business.

The only reason DC may fare better is that lobbyists and politicians doing power lunches could give a frick about menu prices.

Honestly I'd guess most people serving in sit down places here already make more than that. The majority of those affected will be entry level fast food/part time people. Bring on the self serve kiosks

On this board, anything outside of the Deep South is a shithole. Go figure.

Win for the libs. And they want it to work out just like Seattle.

Higher minimum wage = higher unemployment = more dependents on government = control. And people loved to be controlled. Come along little sheep.

Most of the urban south is a shithole. Do you really want to dig your heels in on this one?

Being rapidly gentrified. Real estate values climbing.

The Deep South, however, will remain a shithole indefinitely.

Interestingly enough, wait staffs in DC opposed this bill. So did the Dem Mayor of DC. Progs pushed this through and are going to cause a lot of people to lose jobs and shifts.
