You can't really even drink at a restaurant these days [a high-profit margin offering].
Unless, of course, you're a connected Democrat. Then, the cops won't be looking to shake you down for the old DUI cashola.

I disagree with the ‘great intentions’ part.
It has all the fingerprints of a marxist radical assault on business.

Being a waiter can pay as much as a professional, if they are good at their job. Those advocating for set wages don’t want waiters to earn as much as they. That’s what it comes down to.

That is probably partly true (the deliberate assault part), but I think a large portion of it is sheer ignorance of economics and a lack of understanding of a linkage between cause and effect. In California, our state government has many, many that are of this ilk, from the governor on down!

Golden Corral buffet has been a favorite for a lot of people but a lot of them are closing down for multiple reasons.
A lot of people poo poo their food but for the price and selection, I’ve found it to be fresh, hot, and nutritious when picking and choosing correctly.
Since I eat alone a lot of the time I like being able to just go get what I want and as much of any given item I want instead of waiting a considerable amount of time for it to be ready.
While I leave a tip, it isn’t much because I’m doing most the work. Now that people are making $20 an hour in CA restaurants, tipping should be abolished.

federal government is even considering banning gas stoves in restaurants. This move is not just frustrating, it's downright infuriating. Gas stoves are essential for cooking, providing instant heat control crucial for preparing food efficiently.The author is obviously ignorant of induction cooktops.
The instant control is as good as or better than gas.
Less heat for the cooks to endure.
They are safer than gas.
We've had one for over 10 years and no way we would go back to old fashioned electric resistance or gas cooking.

For restaurant cooking gas is the most efficient-consistent heat.
You can’t cook on an electric stove if the power goes off.

And why should the IRS be taxing tips, which are often a lifeline for single moms and college students? Why aren't tips considered gifts from the patrons to the servers?
As gifts, they'd certainly fall below the lifetime cap on gifts given for most diners.

I don’t even buy the *good intentions* part.
I don’t think anything the government does is because of *good intentions*.

It’s been very effective at driving small businesses out of business so the corporations can own it all.

Cast iron works great.
Aluminum doesn't.
There has to be at least a layer of ferrous metal in a pot and pan to become part of the inductive circuit to heat.

A number of years back there was an article about how one restaurant had upped their prices, done away with tipping and was paying the wait staff a “living wage”. What ever that was at the time.
In the article the real reason for the change came sneaking out. The owner complained that with tips the waiters were making more then she was and that was just not fair!
Needless to say the good wait staff quit to work some place where they could get those nice tips again.

I hated cooking on electric and induction stoves alike.
I suppose if you are just heating up a can of soup it might be ok.
Gas is the best way to go if you really are cooking.

She was an idiot. The good staff keep you in business. She could have waited some tables and gotten some tips for herself.

Yep.
Good customer service will keep people coming back even if your food is just average.
