[quote=Anonymous]My daughter worked as a waitress at a higher end restaurant. The owners were loaded. I’m talking million dollar homes, exotic trips etc. she averaged $40-$60/hr. When minimum wage went up, owners raised prices and even though most customers still tipped 15-20%, there were less of them. People stopped going out to eat. So the owners let go some of the wait staff since paying them an extra few dollars more an hour was eating into their profits. When she left, she was making $20-$30/he because the volume of customers decreased and they would spend less. If the volume remained the same, the other waiters would still be employed despite making a little less. And, the owners didn’t think anything of letting staff go despite their wealth. All this to say I agree with an earlier poster that mist restaurants should go out of business if they can’t treat their employees better.[/quote]
