They were interviewing a Virginia restaurant owner yesterday. He said his wait staff DO NOT want the $15 an hour minimum wage. Why? Because with tips they earn on average over $25 an hour. Of course, this tip pay is effort-based, not outcome-based.
Work harder, make more? Can’t have that!
I waited tables throughout college. I loved the tip system.
Part for the busboy, part for my pocket, and the rest for the IRS! LOL!
