[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because servers don't want it. My brother is a professional bartender in DC who routinely makes tips that equal out $50-$60/hr. A slow night for him is leaving with only ~$250 in tips. He makes $600-$800 per night Thur-Sat. People aren't going to tip with a high hourly wage in place, and no one who has been in the service industry as a career is going to keep doing it for $17.95/hr. Service industry workers and restaurant owners tried to tell TPTB that a higher minimum wage would not work for all establishments. For a McDonald's? Sure, but at Le Diplomate, Zaytinya, or The Hamilton, nope. They can't keep their skilled workers at that rate. [/quote] If restaurants want to keep their skilled workers, they should pay them more. They presumably do this for chefs, what makes it so hard for them to pay good servers higher wages?[/quote]
