To be honest, this is the case no matter the color of the applicant.

I agree with you, but when another restaurant DOES still do that they’ll leave. I can’t blame them for wanting to maximize their profit in the broken system when there’s no real incentive for them to fix it.

This is the kicker.  Switching to a no tipping model without paying a living wage simply doesn’t work.  I’d also like to see how much that one restaurant bumped its prices.  I’m willing to bet they didn’t think that through and just arbitrarily jacked up the numbers.

I don’t see it mentioned here, but one of the other articles mentioned that the servers on this group were making 20-40% less in this new no-tipping model. So the problem was they didn’t set an appropriate wage when they shifted away from tipping. Of course veterans were leaving for other jobs.

they are paying the same (or maybe slightly less)

Yeah but not reporting tips is illegal, not sure we should consider that a feature of the system.

Ah, but here’s the thing. It’s not about ‘paying the same’, it’s about the customer having the ability to lord something over their wage slave. You just can’t put a price on that.

“When they had no tipping, the staff… complained about not being rewarded during busy times.”

One of the big reasons they are trying to push this through so quickly is this case that is on the SC docket for October:

If you ever wondered if Trump’s team could go any lower, someone finally remembered that Kellyanne has a vagina. She was on CNN talking about how she too is a survivor of sexual assault but is totally cool with Kavanaugh because it was her fault.

I just found out about it too. I’m taking the approach of innocently asking all the right-wing apologists in my life if they’ve ever heard of “Gamble vs US”

Why bother? Not like this scumbag isn’t getting confirmed. None of this FBI “investigation” matters since the scope is so limited and even if it wasn’t, they won’t give a shit about any discovery either. Flake’s crocodile tears were just some effort to save some tiny amount of humanity after he got his duplicitous

I legitimately did not know about Gamble vs. U.S. Fuck that’s some serious fucked up shit. And the list of people in those echelons with any credibility who might even remotely agree with that despite their personal ideals are slim.  The moral flexibility required to essentially invest the president with the power to

The longer this goes on , the more skeletons will come out of Kavanaugh’s closet and the more evidence of how unfit he is will mount.

Stop pretending we don’t know how this story ends.
