Union protestors and celebrity advocates have decided that waiters' tips aren't big enough...

As usual, those who want the government to decide that workers must be paid more insist that "women and minorities" are hurt by the market.

My wife was a waitress for years - we know what a good server is and tip accordingly - except for one young lass who we’ve known for a few years and is like a daughter to us - she gets $20 even if a good tip would only be $10.....
