It is, honestly, a fucking terrible idea - I understand that servers are struggling but this is the worst way to fix it.
- What's the better way to fix it?
  
  If you are serious... Pay them a regular living wage... Remove the whole caveat that waiting staff is somehow different from any other job.
If a job needs doing. It needs a living wage to be paid for.
No matter how much Wall St wishes it so, we are not slaves. If you want the work done, fucking pay for it. Or go out of business.
You....you get ...taxed on tips?!?!
Hahaha 😂 Fucking unreal
- They'd take my blood if they could get away with it.
  
  Are you breezing this air, are you still enjoying this sun....
Can't wait to see more jobs become tip based /s Nurses based on tips, doctors, ems, firefighters? Why not?
Its the most economical decision for them on their taxes...
