Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
Shortly before opening, Casa Bonita’s new owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to eliminate tipping and instead pay workers a flat wage of $30 per hour.
Now I could be wrong, but getting a an hourly wage as a restaurant worker is FAR better than relying on tips. I feel like either workers in this situation are too obsessed with tips or there’s huge context missing.
You're looking at a magazine called restaurant business online. They have another article about a bunch of people calling the protest of the Israeli PR person's restaurant "anti-semitic".
Yes, the workers are wrong. This is a better way to do it. Unfortunately, many waiters really do come out ahead with tipping, especially those working at higher end restaurants, conventionally attractive by euro standards, or just really good people skills, so they argue tipping is good actually. It benefits some individually, but collectively a lot do not end up with more money this way. It’s part of the whole pull yourself up by your bootstraps ideology - yes you theoretically could do better with tipping, but how many do, compared with the many who don’t? But of course restaurantbusinessonline would prefer business owners still be paying less than minimum wage, so they find those workers whose interests for whatever reason line up with theirs.
I feel like the media has an incentive to focus in on the voices of those who resist this change over those who benefit from it, since the tipping norm benefits the owners of the restaurant industry at large.
But by the sound of things there are more issues here than just the pay structure. The workers want a representative at top level meetings, notice ahead of time when policies change, and reinstatement of people who were fired due to contract disputes. I'm not surprised at all that a couple libertarians with no experience running a restaurant would buy one and immediately run into a bunch of avoidable issues.
some tipped workers come out ahead in effective wage, but it's fleeting and a bad way to organize society
i wouldn't put it past the park brothers to be screwing them over in some other way and the "return to tipping" is just sensationalized from the old benefits being better and "we want the previous deal" being easier to argue for as labor.
yall are underestimating how much some waiters make. especially if you are conventionally attractive.
it's also kinda messed up to have people on a grading pay scale of how attractive they are
Holy F $30/hr is a very nice wage. That's livable with a side of moderate savings there. Take the damn win.
Fucking 30$ an hour!? That’s amazing! That’s more than teachers make where I live…
Like, more than 30% more wow
Still not enough, but dang tbh
Extremely sus that this article doesn't report on the number of signatures on the petition.
