[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Restaurant workers lose money to wage theft. They should have started from there. Training was hardly ever paid, minim never met, the $2.13 was not even paid out, and nobody was allowed to take a break in a 12-hour shift among many other things. Trips to ER were common because of work.
I counted 8 different ways I lost money to the owners in the restaurant since I started in 1997. Customers tipping more or less was not one of the ways I lost money.
I mentioned it in the other thread that the quality of workers we get now means that we need 3 people to do the job 2 used to do. 
I have no idea how my boss is going to pay the $12 an hour starting July and we are busy. 
I retired, but I'm being asked to come back by three former employers. [/quote]

If they cannot pay $12 an hour to employees especially when they are chargine $25-50+ a plate they shouldn't be in business.[/quote]

You are an idiot. Rents in DC are too expensive to allow both. That is not the model that restaurants have used. It's not that easy.

I would rather repeal Initiative 82 than to see even more empty storefronts. How does that help anyone? [/quote]
