When will liberals learn that the liars at the top of socialism don’t care a wit about them?! Their promises of Pleasure Island are for jackasses (ask Pinocchio.)
Hey....why not make it $50 per hour.
Good to know. I won’t tip any wait staff when eating in DC
Simply move your business. DC is a cesspool any way. I like Arlington and do all my business there.
I, for one, welcome our robot servers.
It was really about tracking incomes. Some people, in the right restaurants were earning as much doctors in tips and it was untaxed.
*D.C. is not a State..they can do what they want there...its Majority Rule...
Truthfully, I’m surprised that in past the USG hasn’t just nationalized all of D.C. First of all, instead of decaying tenements over rotting infrastructure, they could have new buildings, good roads, almost no crime, lots of open space for parks and memorials, and they could even eliminate most automobile road traffic, except for VIPs and embassies.
For parade routes, they could use covered moving sidewalks as are popular in airport concourses, that could move a lot of pedestrian traffic much faster.
It would need delivery routes in the background, with lots of trucks going into and out of a central terminal outside of the city, with their cargoes transferred to an underground cargo rail. Most parking would be outside of the city as well, with lots of public transportation.
The businesses inside the city, even the Watergate hotel complex, would be leased, not owned.
And the march of the laid-off workers to begin protesting in 3...2...1....
Hey, another good excuse for cheapskates and a subset of black women (sorry, but it’s the voice of experience) to not tip. Restaurant workers are going to love it — not!
There was an article about this very recently—nearly all of the workers wanted to keep the current system. It was the labor unions and their political allies who wanted the change.
Surge in applications for VA restaurant occupational licenses in 3,2,1...
This scheme of passing laws that take effect years down the road is cowardly and disingenuous. If it is such a good idea, then it should be made effective now. Which pretty much tells you why it isn’t.
Wow. They’re really anxious to see scores of people at the low end of the spectrum fired.
I’m simply DONE TIPPING. With $15/hr, the tip is already INCLUDED in the price of the meal - which is how it works in most other countries.
Tipping was basically a US idea, and like everything else American, the Left has destroyed it - so no more tipping!
Good bye DC restaurant business.
They really want more unemployment and business closures, don’t they?
Has anyone established if any civil authority, most specifically a congressionally created district of authority where laws lay within the power of congress, that they can actually interfere with a private contract such as the setting of wages?
Can even a president, who has the authority to set the prices of products, set the private contract of wages?
>> phasing out the $3.33 an hour minimum wage for tipped workers.
Which translates to no more tips for the wait staff.
Most local restaurants that I’ve seen have signs in their windows asking to vote no on the proposition. Waitstaff were not asking for this; some busybody third party purported to be looking out for their interests.
Workers are already receiving a minimum of $12.50 an hour. If a tipped employee doesn’t make at least $12.50, the employer makes up the difference.
