Saw a meme on Facebook—”if I have to order a meal standing up, I won’t be tipping”
Fast food places that have increased costs due to higher minimum wage. As a result, employees are being laid off or given fewer hours. Kiosks have no health benefits or sick leave/personal time off.
At least one fast food place is trying NO workers, other than the cooks.
I go to some places—chains like Ruby Tuesdays or 99—where if you pay by credit card they put the card in a reader and hand it to you so you can enter in the tip, then “sign it” with your finger. But those places are sit-down meals, etc not fast food.
What do they pay the wait staff, a mere few bucks an hour and “we depend on tips”? Any “do you want fries with that” employees shouldn’t expect miracles—there are so many costs in running a restaurant and it’s bad enough diners are paying a lot more now and getting smaller portions...
There was some kind of Wendy’s I read about some years back where they wound up getting only 29 hours a week because less than 29 meant no, or less, health benefits or other perques would have to be paid.

I don’t expect it to, but I’d LOVE to see, the push-back vs. govt.
Employees pushing to get their insurance/HSA+ THEMSELVES, owned by THEM, w/ the same tax benefits the employers enjoy.
Course, govt doesn’t enjoy the pleebs being SELF sufficient in any shape, matter or form. Gives ‘em too many ‘ideas’
