[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Points I've not heard mentioned:

There are other negative outcomes that result from employers not paying an actual wage besides income loss. When an employer pays you chump change and knows your are at the mercy of the guests paying your salary, they also don't respect your time very much.

Maybe some restaurants will consider relocating to areas with barely any sit down restaurants, like Wards 7 and 8, in order to make ends meet. Maybe diners will consider actually (gulp) travelling to  wards 7 and 8 for meal prices that are more reasonable than downtown.

And maybe these "uneducated people with such a great entry into making a living" can actually do so because they won't have to go through 2-3 weeks of crap tips and crap wages because their manager is starting them at the bottom of the totem pole after training (with bad sections and bad guests.) If it's so easy for someone with no skills to enter this profitable job, why do 80% of my co-workers (server/bartenders) have BA.s?

I think we have a winner for the stupidest post on this thread. Do you honestly think that with labor cost increasing restaurants will now start locating east of the river?  That makes absolutely no sense.[/quote]
