Yeah I'd have to agree with that

And servers wouldn't make a penny more than bussers

Let's take a moment to recognize how insulting this is to her voter base and democrat voters in general. She, and other members of congress, thinks so little dem voters that she would even propose such a thing. You basically have to assume your voters have the intellect of children. I understand that there's a segment of dem voters that are functionally retarded, but those that aren't should feel slighted.

It's funny. But it's sad.

She should open up her very own restaurant and pay them all of that. I'm for her doing just that. She has my support.

Restaurants in Europe and Australia pay their front of the house about this.

How is this relevant to a discussion about the US? Secondly, most European countries have a minimum wage under 20/hr US...which again has no real significance to this discussion.

You think every US worker should get a pay bump or that people should spend 4 years in school so they can get paid same as a waiter? What impact would all this have on the economy?

Agree.....I'm curious how many are 'radical retards' vs. how many are remotely moderate? Pretty sure the 'radical retards' outnumber them 10-1.

I have a 'tip' for them; don't pet burning dogs.

Get a huge percentage of your base laid off.

Hook it up.



I once laughed at these absurd minimum wage bills and thoughts. I own a small business where I have 75% of my products built in Illinois. They just passed the $15/hr min wage. My manufacturer will have to go from $8.50/hr to $15. Its very simple manual labor and I have done everything I can to compete in my industry by staying with American made products where 90% fo my competitors are over seas

They must go from $8.50 to $10 next January then $1/hr per year for 5 years to get to $15.

Huge impact for me since there are very few companies in the US that do what these guys do. IT is also a very low margin product.

Scrambling so dont laugh too hard. Dumber things have happened

The average hourly pay for a Waiter/Waitress in Sydney, New South Wales is AU$17.33.


AU$17.33 = $12.06 USD

Waiters in France make at most 11 euros an hour which is slightly more than minimum wage = $12.25 USD

quote:

The average hourly pay for a Waiter/Waitress in Germany is €8.29.


= $9.23 USD

England pays 8-9 pounds an hour = ~$11 USD

Plus, those countries don't tip as well as the US.

Everything I found online is pretty much in line with $9-12 USD.

All of this comes from payscale.com and wageindicator.com. Not sure where you got your numbers.

Tlaib Wants a $20 Minimum Wage for Tipped Workers by Powerman


Why don't these dolts exercise a moment of clear thought for economics? You have to seriously question their mental aptitude for reason and a general understanding of how business actually operates to start throwing out figures.

Why aren't more people expressing outrage for just flat out "dumb" ?
