[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am for it, because I think with will help servers in the long run (even if there is some upheaval in the short term), it will help tipped workers who are not servers, and because I think it is time restaurants moved to the same labor model as virtually every other business in the country.  Restaurants use this system to avoid paying as much as they should in taxes, and UE compensation insurance.  [/quote]

I also think that this will make servers and other tipped workers pay more in taxes. It's not under the table anymore. [/quote]

Eh, nowadays this isn't as much of an issue. When I was last working in a trendy expensive restaurant 7 years ago, 85% of my tips were done on the credit card and therefore taxed. These days I bet it's even higher. Cash is on its death bed for 95% of consumers. The remaining 5% are old people and people who make money under the table in cash businesses (strippers, drug dealers, undocumented workers, small biz owners skimming, etc.)[/quote]
