[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is all fine and well, long-winded pp.  But you can't just do this on one island of restaurants in a larger area.  It strangles them.  Make it national or don't do it.  People really don't think.[/quote]

Yes people really do not think. Like you suggesting "make it national" without understanding how compensation laws work.

But also: eliminating the tipped wage and raising minimum wages for food service workers is already a national movement with municipalities and states throughout the country already having done it. DC isn't even on the cutting edge of this movement but is following Western and midwestern states and cities who have already done this with success.

Please stop whining about something that is inevitable and happening and instead start figuring out how the industry is going to adjust to a new normal. Customers are not going to tolerate the present situation where restaurants petulantly whine that it's too hard to pay their own employees for their work and that the only way to do so fairly is to make customers do it. That argument isn't working.[/quote]
