I like the idea of a living wage for the server and a 5% tip max if the service was great.
Good liberal you are! Spread the wealth!
In France, in fine dining, there is no wage for waiters, they compete for the jobs, where fine service is generously rewarded.
Your ‘living wage’ dream is about to become real in Seattle, I hope you’ll be around to analyze the labor/wage consequences of $15 minimum wage.
I like the idea of you never ever having anything to do with any law or public policy EVER!!!!!!!
That's how you should do it in your restaurant.
You do know the living wage thingy is socialistic, right? May I argue for NO minimum wage, or "living wage," so each can be paid wages according to their contribution to the business? Someone has to subsidize the "living wage" recipient. It would be much more honest to speak the truth about this than use all kinds of progressive double-speak. If you cannot live on what you earn, change jobs. Most people do as a natural event, why does the government have to get involved in what is basically and agreement between two people, an employer who pays for work and the employee who works for pay.
